Arguments:
https: //www. bing.com/search?q=$(SelText)

When I select a word, a browser window opens with a tab.
If I select two words, a browser window opens with two tabs!

I would always have to insert %20 characters for multiple words:
Hello%20World!

$(CurText)
?

With $(CurText) it’s the same problem.

JavaScript Macro:

#title=”Search engine”
#tooltip=”Search”,1031
if (document.selection.Text !=”) {
var string = document.selection.Text;
string = string.replace(/ /gi, “%20”);
alert(string);
var url = ‘https: //www. bing.com/search?q=’ + string;
window.open(url, ‘w’); // not work!
}

In Arguments, just add quotation marks around the url.

Or, if you want to open the url with your default browser, just put the url in Command instead. (Don’t add quotation marks.)

Wonderful that works, thank you very much

Command:
https://www.bing.com/search?q=$(CurText)
works here.

2nd attempt at an answer:
Command: https://www.bing.com/search?q=$(CurText) works here.
