AutoHotkey Community

Hi all - this is probably a total noob question, but I cannot figure it out from reading the tutorial. Can someone please review this very simple script and advise how it can be altered such that items in quotes (i.e. "test search text") will pass the quotation marks as well as the search text?

Right now any time I submit an entire search query in quotes or a query that includes a partial items in quotes, nothing is returned.



Thank you!

Jason

Post example of what you are trying to enter in Google.
We can't read you mind.

I entered"string" in the input box and it sent exactly what I typed.

You obviously can't read his post either.

myrison, try this script
the hardest part was putting spaces between words;
I found that without "StringReplace" command, the spaces disappear

Another possibility (untested):

here's my take (i've been using this script for months and it works just fine for me):

Win+G activates the input box.


#g::
send {Ctrl}
inputbox, st,Google Search,,,,95,,,,,weather miami
if ErrorLevel
return
StringReplace, st, st, `", `%22, all
run http://www.google.com/search?q=%st%
return

Thank you all for the quick replies. (even the one complaining that I was not asking my question clearly)

I tested all of them and sinkfaze & lazygeek, yours both work flawlessly. Leef_me - thank you for the response as well, but strangely, your code exhibits the same problems my current code does.

Test query is this:
Leef - the first ouput box returns and then the second output box returns

However, when posted to Google, the variable passed is It is missing the second quote for some reason.

In any case, please don't feel the need to troubleshoot further as I do have a working solution now.

Thanks again guys for the help. I used to install Google Desktop solely for the ability to use the "double control" keyboard shortcut that would pop up a Google search box. That program comes with a a lot of clutter though just to get the keyboard shortcut. This is MUCH more lightweight and efficient.

Thanks again!
