A simple background service to allow you to select text in (nearly) any
application and press “Shift-Apple-G” to launch a Google search for that
text. This release is context aware. When you select text from Project
Builder, a browser opens up searching developer.apple.com instead of
Google. You can define your own contexts (application-grain) and choose
what URLs they apply to.
SearchGoogle can also be modified to search other websites, and is public domain software, although a donation or a postcard is suggested. Both the source and the service file may be downloaded from the gu.st~* LIFTworks! Web site.
A link to this was originally at the Power Page, and we thought it way too cool not to mention again. Itis also important to note that Services are only supported in Cocoa applications, and the Carbon apps that have been coded to support it.
