Title: Add google search to your menu
Post by: paul59 on August 09, 2014, 05:19:25 AM

Just a quick way to add a google search without first opening a browser.

Right-click main menu button and choose 'Properties'
Select the 'Search Actions' tab
Click the '+' button marked '1' in the screenshot
Fill in the details at '2' in the screenshot.

The last line is only partly visible, in full it should read:

Code: [Select]

exo-open --launch WebBrowser http://www.google.com/#q=%u

To use this search function open your menu and type %g followed by your search term and hit enter. You can add a space for clarity after %g if you like, for example:

Code: [Select]

%g linux lite
