I like the extra features the Google toolbar offers, like the "up"
button and the "highlight" button.

Not that I know of. I did a search of the archives and didn't come up
with anything. This would be very helpful. It would also be good to know
how I can change the order of the toolbars - if anyone knows.

Personally, I think this kind of feature should be an extension, not a
core part of the browser. Also, I use Dave's Quick Search Deskbar
(www.dqsd.net) which gives me all kinds of options for search engines
and more.
