Changeset 179

Author:

Message:

Add websearch class that reads a string from the user, then launches a web search
for that string. Inspired by similar facilities in Peter Maurer's "Butler" launcher
for OS X.

Add hot keys for google, google directory, google images, webster dictionary and webster
thesaurus web searches.
