Suggest a search window integrated into task list - Nanayaw - 04-23-2020

Hello All,

I like to suggest a search window integrated into the task list,
where internet searches could placed and then the browser
will open with the search result.

See attached picture area with red boundaries

I think it will be a nice feature what will make LL more comfortable.

From my view following will be needed:
> Search window >> it is allready used for some issues at LL
> A selection of the browser, default is standard browser (Settings)
> A selection of the search provider Google ..... (Settings)

I know it is easy to suggest, but not so easy to implement.

If it can't set at task list then a desktop widget will be nice also.

Greetings

Nanayaw

You can already kinda do that. open the whisker menu (win-key) and type "? <your search term>" and it will open a browser and search on duckduckgo by default but you can change that.
with "!w" you can search on wikipedia directly

Use Lite search engine:

Code:
exo-open --launch WebBrowser https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=006509465696283590503:mookvjo3sfw&ie=UTF-8&q=%u
