No, Google toolbar doesn't work inside Maxthon, BUT, there is a whole "tab" (as
in left side area) that's a global search, where you have basically the same
thing, AND you can check box which sites you want the search to go to (Google,
Yahoo, MSN, etc).

I have Firefox, and still prefer the visual rendering of IE, which Maxthon is
really a wrapper around IE.  Going to some baning sites still works right with
IE and not Firefox.  I personally think there is more "polish" in IE, and the
Maxthon version/add-around, gives lots of other cool stuff (you can zoom
graphics and such).  And it's free...<smile>..as well.
