Consilidate Tabs Using GMail Web Search Box

Next time you want to email a link to a friend, use Gmail's Web Search Box. All you have to do is enable it in Google Labs. A new search box will appear in your Gmail. You can then use that box to Google search for the link you need and put it in your email.

It's not a huge thing, but it's definitely better than having to open up a new tab. [GMail Blog]
