Quick Google Site Search in the Browser

I have extended the NWS PowerTool Quick Search feature: you can now in a browser quickly fire a Google search that restricts the results to the current site.

Screencast

Usage

Once the NWS PowerTool is running, you can trigger the QuickSearch feature when a browser window is active by using the hotkey Win+F (F like Find)

Alternatively you can only remember Win+F1 to open the NWS PowerTool Browser action menu.

Implementation

This is implemented in the NWS.ahk file.

The key code part is in the QuickSearch function:

QuickSearch(){

sUrl := GetActiveBrowserUrl()

If !sUrl { ; empty

    MsgBox Cannot get URL ; DBG

    return

}

If Connections_IsUrl(sUrl) 

    ConnectionsSearch(sUrl)

Else If Blogger_IsUrl(sURL) 

    Blogger_Search(sURL)

Else If Confluence_IsUrl(sUrl) 

    Confluence_Search(sUrl)

Else If Jira_IsUrl(sUrl)

    Jira_Search(sUrl)

Else {

    sPat = google.com/search\?q=site:([^`%]*)`%20 ; Chrome strips https://www. for google

    sPat := StrReplace(sPat,".","\.")

    If RegExMatch(sUrl,sPat . "(.*)", sMatch) { ; https://www.google.com/search?q=site:https://scaledagileframework.com%20pipeline

        sDefSearch := StrReplace(sMatch2,"%20"," ")

        sRootUrl := sMatch1

        ;SendInput ^w ; close current search window

    } Else {

        RegExMatch(sUrl,"https?://[^/]*",sRootUrl)

    }

    InputBox, sSearch , Google Site Search, Enter search string:,,640,125,,,,, %sDefSearch%

    if ErrorLevel

        return

    sSearch := Trim(sSearch)

    

    sSearchUrl = https://www.google.com/search?q=site:%sRootUrl% %sSearch%

    SendInput ^t^l ; close current search window

    Clip_Paste(sSearchUrl)

    SendInput {Enter}

    SendInput ^{Tab}

    Sleep 500

    SendInput ^w

    Run, "%sSearchUrl%"

}   

} ; eofun
