You are correct, it would open that link if you compiled it like that (and packaged it or installed it). But making a plugin for each search provider is probably not a good choice. I'll try to make one plugin take care of all search providers, with an easy option to create custom searches as well.

Would it be sufficient if you could click a button and then select the search provider of choice?
Yes, I know that isn't a wise choice, but is was just trying to understand how the plugin works (I've never written a line of code in my life).

Of course a plugin with te mayor search providers pre-listed + a custom search option.
I have always thought of it like this:

The button that performs the google search right now would show a list of all available search engines. These search engines, and the links needed for them are eather editable from the program itsself, or from a config file somewhere on the flash memory that i can edit in something like leafpad.

Thanks for al the hard work you guys have already put in for people like me, who want all the cool stuff, but can't code it themselves.
