This creates a Google command that starts your default web browser and uses the Google search engine to process your search query.

Examples:

google night photography help

google 2006 college basketball statistics

To search MSN's Live.com instead, replace the "start" command with:

start http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=%QUERY%

To search Yahoo!:

start http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%QUERY%

To search Ask:
