It would be nice to be able to quickly search Google from the input box, by entering something like: /g searchword

Probably this can be implemented as a simple script.  Care should be taken that a search on 'K&R syntax' really searches on K&R syntax: correct treatment of the ampersand and spaces in the search term might need some attention.

This is how I implemented it in the C++ code; a script would be nicer.

QString url = "http://www.google.com";

// If a parameter is specified, append it to Google's URL as a searchword
if (parameter!="") {
  QString cooked(parameter);
  cooked.replace(QRegExp("&"),"%26"); // In case someone searches for K&R ;-)
  url+="/search?q="+cooked;
  }
