Here you go Lobster..
Handy little tool.
I packaged with a menu item and icon (stock of course) and it resides in /root/my-applications/bin, even gave it a version number (good practise) ... is there a reason no body puts stuff there? It is in the executable path, I think it's ideal for simple one script apps such as this.
Cheers

Code: Select all
defaultbrowser http://www.google.com/search?q=SEARCH_STRING_GOES_HERE+site:WEBSITE_GOES_HERE
SEARCH_STRING_GOES_HERE (what you want to search for)
WEBSITE_GOES_HERE (for example murga-linux.com, but using puppylinux.* will search puppylinux.com, puppylinux.ca, puppylinux.asia... .net, .tv...)
compare this to the wellminded search
amazing what you would be able to get from 2 simple edit boxes
(or a list)
Add this for I'm Feeling Lucky (takes you to the first page)
- this feature used to be good until google started basing ranking on things other than relevance but still ok for finding most open source stuff)

Many thanks
/root/my-applications/bin
may be a newer location for our veterans - it is the ideal place
Yep the code is very simple technosaurus, so makes a good template
- in fact I just modified the 'Growl' security program

I wasn't expecting such a quick response I edited my post to add the "I'm Feeling Lucky" string
