 |
|
Is it possible to use Autohotkey to do global google search (select a word in whatever application, use the shortcut and google does a search with this word??
Are there already scripts to do this?
Greetings,

Something like this would probably work
| Code: | #g::
ClipTemp := Clipboard
Send ^c
Run, http://www.google.com/search?q=%Clipboard%
Clipboard := ClipTemp
return |

Would it be possible to create more of these scripts p.e. global amazon search, yahoo search etc. and put them all in one application?
If not, do I have to create of each script a .exe and load them all in memory?
sorry, I'm new to autohotkey. |

I use the following script, which is basically a function being called multiple times as I need and how I need. I pass through an identifier for the popup name, and then the pre-fixed URL for whatever I am copying (ie: if I've highlighted something or not). I've included the examples that I use often.
Refer to my thread on this.
| Code: | ; IE AutoOpen Hotkeys
#w::IEAutoOpen("URL","") ; WinKey+w ;;AutoOpen Link
#g::IEAutoOpen("Google","www.google.com/search?q=") ; WinKey+g ;;AutoOpen Google and Search
#p::IEAutoOpen("Yahoo profiles","profiles.yahoo.com/") ; WinKey+p ;;AutoOpen Yahoo Profiles Link
#u::IEAutoOpen("Free Dictionary search","http://www.thefreedictionary.com/") ; Win+u ;;AutoOpen Free Dictionary
IEAutoOpen(Desc,URL) ; v1.0.2, 09/18/07
{
ClipSaved := ClipboardAll ; Save the entire clipboard to a variable of your choice.
Clipboard = %Clipboard%
TextClip = %Clipboard%
Clipboard =
Send, ^c
ClipWait, 1
IEClip = %Clipboard%
Clipboard = %TextClip%
InputBox, URLString, %Desc%, Please enter the %Desc% string to be opened in IE:, , , , , , , , %IEClip%
If (GetKeyState("Control")) And (URL = "") ; Suggested by Lexikos
URLString = www.%URLString%.com ; Suggested by Lexikos
Clipboard := ClipSaved ; Restore the original clipboard. Note the use of Clipboard (not ClipboardAll).
ClipSaved = ; Free the memory in case the clipboard was very large.
If ErrorLevel <> 0
Return
Run, iexplore.exe %URL%%URLString%
}

Here's a simple GUI that can Google itself and several other sites listed in a dropdown. To do a general Google search, leave the dropdown blank, otherwise select the site you would like to use Google to search. Bear in mind that to keep this example simple I used only sites that end in ".com":
| Code: | Gui, Add, Text, x10 y18, Select the site to Google:
Gui, Add, DropDownList, x10 y38 w150 vSearchSite, |Autohotkey|Yahoo|Amazon|eBay|Dictionary|Brittanica|Fark
Gui, Add, Edit, x10 y78 w150 vSearchTerms
Gui, Add, Button, x115 y118, Search
Gui, Show, Center AutoSize, Googler!
return
ButtonSearch:
Gui, Submit, NoHide
if (SearchSite)
Run, http://www.google.com/search?q=%SearchTerms%+site:%SearchSite%.com
else
Run, http://www.google.com/search?q=%SearchTerms%
return
GuiClose:
ExitApp |

When I use this code, it actually opens a new window every time I press the keys. Is it possible to ensure that the words are checked only in one window instead of opening new window every time?

arun,
If you change
Run, iexplore.exe %URL%%URLString%
to
Run, %URL%%URLString%
This will result in the command running in your default browser.
It is a band-aid.
Peace,
Juergs |
