Maybe its because no linux browser NEEDS a google button.

Mozilla: Key in your search term, click Search and it searches
google or what ever search engine you set up.

Kongueror: key in search term, hit enter (or click go).  If its not a
url it will lauch a google search (or what ever search engine you 
set up).  If the term is ambiguous, preceed it with gg: and it will
go to google.  I t just knows what to do, without a the crutch of a
button.

Opera for Linux: Already has a search field that searches
what ever engine you want.

Question: Can you add any other button to Windows
browsers besides Google and Lycos?  

There are a lot of specialized search engines out there
and windows makes no attempt to facilitate their use.
