search-web.el

=========

Description

-----------

Post web search queries using `browse-url'.

Screenshots

-----------

![Alt Text](https://github.com/nomaddo/search-web-gif/blob/master/search-web.gif)

The upper example use extra extension `popwin` and add configs shown below.

Installation:

-----------

copy search-web.el into your load-path and add

`(require 'search-web)`

You should change following variables to fit your environment

by `M-x customize-group search-web`.

- search-web-default-browser

- search-web-in-emacs-browser

- search-web-external-browser

The default values are the same as browse-url-default-browser.

This probably points external browser of emacs if you didn't change it.

usage

-----------

search-web-dwim: a main function

Search selected words in a browser if you select a region.

Search at point if not.

I strongly recommend you add following code into your .emacs if you use `popwin` and text-browser `emacs-w3m or eww` to popup `*w3m*` and `*eww*`.

(the upper example use this config)

    (defadvice w3m-browse-url (around w3m-browse-url-popwin activate)

       (save-window-excursion ad-do-it)

       (unless (get-buffer-window "*w3m*")

          (pop-to-buffer "*w3m*")))

    (defadvice eww-render (around eww-render-popwin activate)

      (save-window-excursion ad-do-it)

      (unless (get-buffer-window "*eww*")

        (pop-to-buffer "*eww*")))

    (push "*eww*" popwin:special-display-config)

    (push "*w3m*" popwin:special-display-config)
