SearchBar is a special window where you can write your text for search or edit the text you have sent to the SearchBar from other applications.

How to use SearchBar
The quickest way to start is to write your search keyword in the text box and click on the Search button. This will search your text in Google (default resource). If you want to search in another search engine, click the Search Menu button to the right from the Search button to open a list with more resources to search.
You can also send text to the SearchBar in two ways:
- Use drag-and-drop (works when the SearchBar is in the stay-on-top mode)
- Use a hotkey or a mouse control (you can view or edit hotkeys and mouse controls in the Hotkeys tab)
Each of these actions opens SearchBar if it is closed. You can also open the SearchBar by double-clicking the program icon in the system tray or right-clicking the icon and selecting the Show SearchBar option.
