Found on Apple's Mac OS X software download pages, "Search Google" is a Services addition that allows you to search Google from any Services-aware Application: select a text string and type cmd-shift-G, you fly!

Drop it in your ~/Library/Services folder (create the folder it if it doesn't exist); it will be there the next time you log in.

You want to know what a Phantastron is? Highlight the word and type cmd-shift-G. I am using this two to three times a day in OmniWeb. It works for all Cocoa applications and some Carbonn apps, but no Microsoft apps so far :-(

Now, if you want to know how smart Google is, try a search for landscape images. They know where you live! Awsome, a Windows "friend" of mine said ... Well, here is one more reason to love our platform!
