Very neat!!! Installing right away!!

Really really cool, czechboy!

I don't understand: why do you need the '=' at the end?
Is it to avoid google queries without anything interesting?

(i removed it and it works perfectly )

[czb]

Yes.. it is not to overwhelm google by queries (I do not know if google can ban you or something) but sure you can make query after every single character pressed

[mouser]

it seems like i need to add 2 things:
let user hit enter to activate the plugin (instead of having to type a special character).
and maybe some kind of way to send the plugin a signal after a short delay of no typing, so that plugins like this could query an online source after a short delay so it wouldnt have to check every character, but could still check "live" without requiring enter to be hit.  what do you think?

[jgpaiva]

mouser: yes, definitelly add the "enter" option!
I like the the idea about the short delay, the problem is that that depends on how fast the person writes, i guess. Probably not easy to do on reality, i think.

Much needed option, in my opinion.

Both ideas are great, probably there could be an TAB option as well (not only enter). Similar to the Launchy one

I really like this plugin but I wish that there was an offline-non google version as well
