The Digg Search Widget (DSW) v1.0, was originally released on March 6th, 2006. About a month after the launch successful of DSW v1.0, I am pleased to announce The Digg Search Widget v1.70! DSW now includes such features as Advance Search, Themes, RSS Reader, and Alerts. (see details below) As you must already know, the DSW runs off the Yahoo! Widget Engine (aka. Konfabulator) and now functions properly on both Windows and Macintosh computers. The main goal of the DSW is to help Digg.com users easily access a large variety of Digg content right from their desktop. Please download the widget and try it out. I guarantee you’ll like it.

I use your digg search widget and love it, however I was wondering if there’s a way to get the tooltip to stay up as long as you’re hovering over a story headline. Mine seems to time out after 10-20 seconds. Sometimes I can’t read the whole tooltip that fast.
Hey Matt, just wanted to let you know that there is a 100% new rebuilt edition of the Digg Search Widget comming out very soon. It has a brand new theme, 100x of new features, and is built for digg v3. Check back here for Digg Search Widget v2.0. Note: The current digg search widget should notify when the new version becomes available.
If anyone’s interested, I just created a digg search engine that spiders ONLY pages on Digg. Also anyone who uses it can vote up results that they like.

Anyone can grab the widget too for instant searches, or they can add the search box to their browser. Pretty cool I think.
You can add digg search widget in your website or blog
