Always keeping an eye out for a widget that saves a little time and makes life easier, I was interested in Gwidget when I came across the feed in my reader. After a little research, I found that Gwidget returns the search results inside the widget in Dashboard, unlike most search widgets. Most open your default browser and display the results there.
This got me to thinking. Usually when I need to search I head to my browser (Safari), and use the built in Google search box there. Results are returned to me in my browser, which I need to use to find further info or to read the search results article/page.
So, this being said, which way do you prefer to search? In the browser itself or with a Dashboard widget?

Think I’ll stick with the browser. So far there are only two widgets I use all the time: dictionary and calculator. Other widgets I try out for a few weeks then lose interest. I can think of widgets that I /would/ use, but they don’t exist yet.
