Right click menu: search in a new background tab with support for international characters (Unicode)

Friday, January 4, 2013 6:16:12 AM

Under [Hotclick Popup Menu], [Link Selection Popup Menu],
[Edit Widget Popup Menu], you can add this code to have
a 'search Google in new page' option in the right click menu
(if you don't want to use modifier keys for that: Ctrl +Shift)






This is the usual code:

Item, Search in New Tab=Copy & New Page & Go to page, "http://www.google.com/search?q=%c&num=%i&sourceid=opera" & Minimize page

The problem is that non-standard characters in the search query are not preserved (e.g. ą,ę,ż,ü)

This JavaScript code can be used to go around the problem (it simulates Ctrl + Shift + click).

Search Google.pl in a new background tab with support for international characters

Item, Search Google.pl="Enable javascript, , , ,"Search Web" & Delay, 10 & Go to page,"javascript:(function(){var sel=window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0);var url= 'http://www.google.pl/search?num=50&hl=pl&lr=lang_pl&as_qdr=all&tbs=lr%3Alang_1pl&q='+ encodeURI(sel) +'&btnG=Szukaj'; var a = document.createElement('a');a.href = url;var evt = document.createEvent('MouseEvents'); evt.initMouseEvent('click', true, true, window,0, 0, 0, 0, 0,true, false, true, false, 0, null);a.dispatchEvent(evt);})()"

Search Google News in a new background tab with support for international characters

Item, Search Google News="Enable javascript, , , ,"Search Web" & Delay, 10 & Go to page,"javascript:(function(){var sel=window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0);var url= 'http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q='+encodeURI(sel); var a = document.createElement('a');a.href = url;var evt = document.createEvent('MouseEvents'); evt.initMouseEvent('click', true, true, window,0, 0, 0, 0, 0,true, false, true, false, 0, null);a.dispatchEvent(evt);})()"

Another way to use the code is to make a User JS with different searches as functions and call them in the context menu.


User JS:

Search_Google= function(){
var sel=window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0);
var url='http://www.google.com/search?q='+ encodeURI(sel) +'&num=%i';  
var a = document.createElement("a");
a.href = url;
var evt = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");    
evt.initMouseEvent("click", true, true, window, 
                   0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 
                   true, false, true, false, 
                 //ctrlKey, altKey, shiftKey, metaKey                  
                   0, null);
a.dispatchEvent(evt);
}             


Search_Google_pl=function(){
var sel=window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0); 
var url= 'http://www.google.pl/search?num=50&hl=pl&lr=lang_pl&as_qdr=all&tbs=lr%3Alang_1pl&q='+ encodeURI(sel) +'&btnG=Szukaj'; 
var a = document.createElement("a");
a.href = url;
var evt = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");    
evt.initMouseEvent("click", true, true, window, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,  true, false, true, false, 0, null);
a.dispatchEvent(evt);
}

Search_News=function(){
var sel=window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0); 
var url='http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q='+encodeURI(sel) ; 
var a = document.createElement("a");
a.href = url;
var evt = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");    
evt.initMouseEvent("click", true, true, window, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,  true, false, true, false, 0, null);
a.dispatchEvent(evt);
}

Search_YouTube=function(){
var sel=window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0); 
var url= 'http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=' + encodeURI(sel) ; 
'http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=%s&aq=f'
var a = document.createElement("a");
a.href = url;
var evt = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");    
evt.initMouseEvent("click", true, true, window, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,  true, false, true, false, 0, null);
a.dispatchEvent(evt);
}

Search_DailyMotion=function(){
var sel=window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0); 
var url= 'http://www.dailymotion.com/us/search/' + encodeURI(sel) //+'/1?af=1' //this part for most recent search
var a = document.createElement("a");
a.href = url;
var evt = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");    
evt.initMouseEvent("click", true, true, window, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,  true, false, true, false, 0, null);
a.dispatchEvent(evt);
}

Functions called in context menu:

Item, Search in New Tab="Go to page,"javascript:Search_Google()" , , ,"Search Web"" 
or

Item, Search Google.pl=Enable javascript, , , ,"Search Web" & Delay, 10 & Go to page,"javascript:Search_Google_pl()"
Item, Search News=Enable javascript, , , ,"Search Web"  & Delay, 10 & Go to page,"javascript:Search_News()"
