Please remember this is a discussion for QSB for Mac, not Windows.

There is.....it's called Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer.
Installed as part of that is QSB, you simply need to change the
preferences in IE so that searchs that require a browser open up in FF
etc. instead of IE.

I was seeking the same solution, a Windows 7 Google QSB... This all
came after I realized how much I really liked the quick search feature
on my Droid Eris, and wanted some similar functionality (namely, a
small, fast, Google search box), only I wasn't willing to commit to
installing Google Desktop.

So I wrote this HTML code:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Google Quick Search</title>
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://www.iconspedia.com/
uploads/2120867538.png">
</head>
<center>
<body onload="document.f.q.focus()">
<img title=Google height=60 src="http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/
images/logo.gif">
<form action="http://www.google.com/search" name=f target="_blank">
<input autocomplete="off" maxlength=1024 name=q size=40 class=lst
title="Enter Query" value=""><br>
<input name=btnG type=submit value="Google Search" title="Submit
Search" class=lsb>
<input name=btnB type=reset value="Clear" title="Clear Current Query"
class=lsb>
</body>
</center>
</html>

Copy this code into a blank Notepad document, and save it as Quick
Search.html (or something like that). Then put that file in your My
Documents folder and open it on Google Chrome. It will show you just a
simple Google Search box, with the Google logo, the submit button, and
a reset form button. Any search queries that are sent through this
will open themselves in a new window/tab.

In Google Chrome, you also have the option of "Create Application
Shortcut", which is in the "Wrench" menu... That will make this it's
own little application and create a shortcut to it on the desktop.
Then you can pin this to your taskbar and have the exact functionality
that you want...

Heck, I bet you can even setup a Windows keyboard shortcut so this
will open when you double-tap Ctrl or something (although, I haven't
done this yet)...
