Even cooler, it will search on selected text
Authored by: Mitchell on Sep 23, '02 04:02:26PM

I implemented this hint using the property list editor and it worked perfectly. Later in the morning, I had some text selected in a Chimera window (a phone number I was typing into an address book), and when I hit the chord for command-shift-F to search on something else, it ran a google search on the selected text, identifying the owner of the phone number in a reverse directory database. That's without dropping the sheet, or interacting at all with the user, just select, command-shift-F, and a window full of search results.

I've been using it ever since to follow up results in news articles if I want more information. Very cool!
