If you're talking about the Google Toolbar pagerank, there isn't
a difference at all in that Google's toolbar will give you the same
PageRank data as if you were to search by any other method.
I haven't heard of any other toolbar pagerank. There is a very
cool SEO tool that works well with Google's search results that
will not only show you how many incoming links a specific page has,
but will also show you the PageRank of each page in the search
engine results.
