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

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

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...)
(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.
