Lister: Google search should use https instead of http

[Biozynotiker]

The new feature "search for selected text with Google" is very welcome.
But this should always use https instead of http.

[MVV]

Not always! Some people like me don't like to use HTTPS in Google. Let it be customizeable.

[Biozynotiker]

Maybe the best solution is, let the user create his own search string like in a browser,
so it is not fixed to google, and user can decide of http/https.

YOU can create your own search strings.... and even more then one
(aber warum sollte man history.txt lesen wenn man einfach drauf los meckern kann...)

open tc config under [Lister]
Contextmenu1=Search1|http://someaddress1?variable=%s
Contextmenu2=Search2|http://someaddress2?variable=%s
.....
ContextmenuX=SearchX|http://someaddressX?variable=%s

(how many I dont know as Chris refused to answer and I dont have time to try....)

And no, I for myself think http is ENOUGH for a search....

I just wish you could customize wich browser to use ....

Actually it is customizable via wincmd.ini [Lister] section. You can even add more entries.

From the help:
Contextmenu1=Search for selected text with Google|http://www.google.com/search?q=%s

Define custom context menu items. %s will be replaced by the selected text.

Try replacing http:// by https://

300 works and I'm not trying more, it's already far beyond reasonable. :)

The URL is simply passed to ShellExecuteEx, so your default browser will be used. You can also try to run a program directly this way, but it may not work.
