StickiWidgets

Derek over at Widgets Lab reminded us that we never officially announced the release of our Search Widget based on the Google AJAX Search API. The original idea was taken from the AnswerTips Widget and spawned from these posts (#1 and #2).

Go to the StickiWidgets Search Widget permanent page for more details and installation instructions.

Here is a quick summary.

• multiple word select (phrases)
• single word select
• default searches (Google AJAX Search API)
  • Google Web Search
  • Dictionary.com Definitions
  • WikiPedia English
  • Answers.com
• to activate: highlight text then press q

A slightly more integrated version of the widget is enabled on this site. Highlight any text and press q to try it out.

There is obviously more work that can be done so comments and feedback are always welcomed.
