The former will prompt for a string to ;; query Google for, and the latter will query Google for whatever ;; text is in the active region in the current buffer. Bind these ;; functions to some global keys for convenience. ;; ;; Once the query completes XEmacs pops up a buffer containing ;; the query results, sans all the cruft an advertising you get ;; from Google. Hitting button2 or RET on a URL will fire up your ;; default browser with that URL. ;;; Todo: ;; ;; ;;; ChangeLog: ;; ;; From this point on, `google-query.el' is in the XEmacs packages ;; CVS repository. For further changes please consult ;; ./xemacs-packages/net-utils/ChangeLog. ;; ;; Revision 1.4 2003-12-16 23:15:46+10 steve ;; Deactivate the region after sending the query from ;; `google-query-region' because processing the results works on ;; regions. ;; ;; Revision 1.3 2003-12-16 18:38:10+10 steve ;; Rename `google-search-version' to `google-query-version'. ;; ;; Revision 1.2 2003-12-16 18:24:50+10 steve ;; Fix a couple of byte-compiler warnings. ;; ;; Revision 1.1 2003-12-16 17:10:03+10 steve ;; Initial revision ;; ;;; Code: (defconst google-query-version 2.0 "Version number of google-query.el.")
