I have found that I am able to get the charity choice to "stick". I have put on the tool bar, (easy and fast) and then the first time I click on Goodsearch to the left, schroll down to verify and once I choose it, it sticks unless I choose to change it. Thus I stop worrying about it and just search, not realizing I am donating everytime I search.
From a non-profit view point it is a great way to get folks to do something small but doing very little from what they already are doing everyday.
You can remind folks via email a 2-3 times a year. We are a small all volunteer organization though so a few bucks goes a long way in Africa. www.lemonaidfund.org

>>;About two months ago someone in the office asked me my opinion of GoodSearch. From a user perspective, I find it slightly irritating that the charity choice isn't "sticky"-- you have to go through a couple different steps to select your charity, every time you use GoodSearch, even for new searches in the same browser session. Also note that GoodSearch uses Yahoo!, which may not be your search engine of choice (a similar service, GiveSmart.com, uses Ask.com results-- I'm sure there are others). GoodSearch also doesn't provide access to Advanced Search features, just basic search.>;>
