    Search tweak help

    I'm trying to tweak the Google toolbar search button to do two things;
    to include selected text as a string search (i.e. as though I'd entered
    the text in ""), and to open a new page for the search results.

    The couple of things I tried, failed, and I have hit the end of my
    limited coding ability (not to mention patience!). The code is given
    below - if anyone can help, I'd be most grateful.

    javascript:q=do cument.getSelec tion();for(i=0; i<frames.length ;i++){q=frames[i].document.getSe lection();if(q) break;}if(!q)vo id(q=prompt('Ke ywords:',''));i f(q)location.hr ef='http://www.google.com/search?client=g ooglet&q='+esca pe(q)

      is that what you mean:

      javascript:Qr=d ocument.getSele ction();if(!Qr) {alert('Please highlight
      text on this page to use this
      function');};if (Qr){w=window.o pen('http://www.google.com/search?q=%22'+Q r+'%22','Google ','width=480,he ight=600,top=0, left=0,scrollba rs=yes,resizabl e=yes,modal=yes ');w.focus();}

      - 'modal' keeps it on top of any existing Netscape windows.
