My plugin also shows the results in browser too though it has 2 things I like over the current C::B implementation:
1) I can add any number of new search engines I like (without editing the source)
2) The default search engine can be launched with a keyboard shortcut so I don't have to use mouse
1) Yes, I thought about that for a second when implementing this initially, but then it seemed too much work and hassle for something you don't really need (and don't want!). I did not even intend to support MSDN search at first, as the plan was a simple, unobstructed one-click internet search (no multiple choices). But then the menu looked so naked with only one entry... hence came MSDN... and now Google Code
Configuration is generally nice, but you know my point of view in the field of customisation. It is good as long as it is useful and necessary, but beyond that, configuration only adds complexity.
In this particular case, I daresay "If Google hasn't got it listed, then it doesn't exist".
2) Oh yeah, good point... my keyboard even has a dedicated key for that (and I never remember to use it!) :lol:
