The team has also released a Sidebar Gadget that allows access to Live Search directly from your desktop.  It’ll accept your search query and render the results directly within the Gadget.  You can set up custom searches using Live Search Macros in the gadget’s Settings pane as well.

None of the official MS gadgets appear in my sidebar. Does it not work for localised Vista editions? Have Vista Ultimate 32bit german.

tino, when you say non of the official Microsoft Gadgets run on your Sidebar - do you also mean the Weather, Clock, RSS Gadgets etc that ship with Windows Vista do not run either? I believe Sidebar Gadgets should run in localized versions of Windows Vista just fine.

@Sidebar Geek: No, I mean the gadgets on the gallery website, especially these Live Search gadgets and the Office 2007 gadgets. They do not appear in the Sidebar Gadgets window.

I love this (Live Search Gadget) Gadget. I live in Denver.  I have it installed on two Vista Computers.  I just purchased a third Vista Computer.  I cannot find this Gadget on the Web Site.  How can I install it on my third Vista Computer?  Thanks. David.2005@dhorwitz.com
