Usage

The two lists are empty to start with, they can be added to or edited in Search+ script prefs and will insert the selected search/prompt term at the current cursor position/selection.
Search terms are just one or two words that can be added/inserted to your search
Prompt terms are for longer terms that can be added/inserted to your prompt
(the terms can be as long as you like but they will show truncated in the lists)
Here are some example terms that can be copied & pasted into the lists in Search+ prefs

Notes
The links can only be changed in the script, which is well commented, and can be found in the message loop.
Search engines tend to use a standard syntax for encoding searches in URL's.
AI Chatbots do not have a standard syntax for encoding prompts in URL's.
Online Shops do not have a standard syntax for encoding searches in URL's.
Gemini and Meta are missing from the AI chatbots because there is currently no way of sending a prompt to them through an URL.
Changing any script prefs will not take effect until Search+ is closed and re-opened.
Deleting
