Here's what the BarQuery terms and conditions says about the BarQuery software:

"BarQuery Desktop Search turns your browser address bar (the place where you generally type in web site addresses) into an Internet search box. Installation of BarQuery Desktop overrides most pre-existing, error resolution applications (like Google Desktop or Yahoo Toolbar), so that when you input search terms or un-resolvable web site addresses, or keywords, you will be provided with responsive, sponsored and un-sponsored Internet search results via the BarQuery Search service or you may be directly navigated to a brand owner's site via one of our third party partners."

Hope this helped.
