About:
A simple Script AddIn which may be handy from time to time. It allows you to search multiple search engines with either the selected filename, the clipboard or typed text. Double click on a search engine to toggle it on or off.
The script adds a new command to DOpus (Searcher) which you can add to any menu, toolbar or hotkey.
The Search Engines are configurable in the Script AddIn configuration dialog. The format for new engines is: [Google_Images]https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=%S. A number of search engines are pre-configured.
The first item between brackets [ ] is the Search Engines name, after that put the url for the search engine, inserting %S where the search terms go.
If a file is selected in the lister when you run this script command it's name_stem will be prefilled in the search box, otherwise the clipboard contents will be pasted in. You can override this by using the CLIP argument which will force Searcher to ignore selected files and just paste from the clipboard. The other available argument is FULLNAME which will force Searcher to use the full name of the first selected item rather than just the name_stem.
The Filename and Clipboard buttons will allow you to toggle between the first selected item in the lister and the clipboard. If nothing is selected in the Lister then the Filename button will be unavailable.
The settings are saved when you close the dialog so Searcher will remember which engines you last used.
