Searching sites via google or other engines

Questions & Suggestions

Hi

I’m trying to search google and other search engines and wondering what string to use in open url function.

For example, KM will copy a string from Notes or Office or any other document, put that in Google search and search a particular site; e.g. If I have a text “Shakespeare” in a document and if I press the hot key trigger, KM will copy that text and search Google for that item, like “Shakespeare” site:keyboardmaestro.com.

Thanks.

Hey @skyblue,

Search for “search google” on the forum.

We’ve covered that quite a bit.

If you can’t figure it out then holler.

Here's an example of searching for selected text using Google Search in the Google Chrome browser. If the selection is a valid URL, then it just opens that URL.
