I switched back to QS until they can improve the speed. After a couple days of testing I found the Google Quick Search Box to be more functional but much slower.

Very explicit, hard to navigate. Perhaps I'm just conditioned to the flexibility of LaunchBar but I couldn't even last a half-day with Google's bar. Google Quick Search Box isn’t that great.

If you’ve got the Newton I’ve got the iPhone 2G. And 3G. And a BlackBerry Pearl, Storm, 8900, 8330 and 8220. And shortly a 9630.

Oh, and shame. Lots of shame and embarrassment.

I pretty much only use it as an app launcher though and as a quick launch to a google search. It works well. I've played around some with the twitter plugin for it and it works well, but I always have Tweetie open, so don't have much use for that. I think as more plugins become available it will be better. I'm also a registered user of LaunchBar. I wouldn't say it's as full featured, but depending on what you're using this type of app for, Google's QSB could be a good, free, replacement.

Less crashing, fewer resource utilization, waiting on plugins and extensibility. Google Quick Search Box has been great – good replacement for Quicksilver as a search/launch bar.
