Well, the idea is good, but the program... not so good.
I wanted to search for "beep_", placed the cursor onto it and pressed Alt+F1...
Look, where your program lead me to: Spoiler (click me)
And where can I click "OK" to save my settings? Evrytime I start your program, I click "msdn.microsoft.com" and "purebasic.fr (english+german)", but next time I start your program, it forgets this setting.

there is no need for a save button... stores in registry (HKLM/Software/Alt.[F1])
works nice on xp... maybe it´s a vista bug??? -> wip
Not a vista bug. HKLM requires admin-privilege, also on XP, but most
XP users a admin, the loves spyware
PureBasic 5.73 | SpiderBasic 2.30 | Windows 10 Pro (x64) | Linux Mint 20.1 (x64)
Old bugs good, new bugs bad! Updates are evil: might fix old bugs and introduce no new ones.
You can use HKEY_CURRENT_USER without admin-privileg, but better use
the preference lib and store the prefs in APPDATA

thanks guys! new version is up and should work with vista now.
there´s more to come...
- defineable 2nd keyword to constrict search results
- open multiple search results
- more predefined websites to choose from
- custom stringgadgets will be replaced by an editable combobox
if you miss something just let me know... feedback welcome!
Nice addon!
The only thing I don't understand is how it distinguishs between Api and PureBasic.
A few examples:
1) SendMessage_() -> Api
2) IsGadget() -> PB
3) #PB_Ascii -> PB
4) #WM_USER -> PB, not good
I think you should change it that every word with "#PB_" at the beginning or "(" at the end is PureBasic and just "#" at the beginning and "_(" at the end is Api.
So it would be nice if you could fix this.
If any of you native English speakers have any suggestions for the above text, please let me know (via PM). Thanks!
