Search the Internet plugin search URLs

All,

I am in the process of creating a new version of the "Search the Internet" plugin. Oh god, not again you may say. Well this one removes the dependency on using the Tweaks dialog, so you will be able to make changes via a (hopefully slightly more user friendly) configuration dialog within Preferences->Plugins. Also it will mean that you won't have to restart Calibre every time you make a change to your menu items.

In addition I am going to introduce the concept of an "Active" checkbox next to each menu item in the configuration dialog. My intent is that I will include a big long list of possible website menu items with icons etc already "pre-configured" in the plugin zip file. So all you have to do as a user is go into the configuration dialog and click the checkbox next to the ones you actually want to use in your menu, rather than reinventing the wheel if it wasn't one I personally included. You will still be able to add your own to this list if needed.

Now to make this more useful to everybody I need a list of the website links people would want. Obviously I already have FantasticFiction, Google, Amazon and Wikipedia. Elsewhere on this thread is ISBN, B&N & GoodReads. Could those of you who have added their own search URLs please share them here so that I can add them to the plugin list? Copying the lines from your tweaks file would be ideal, and including the icon as an attachment if you have one is great if you have it.

Thanks for your help - the more websites the better for all. As this next plugin version will not use the tweak at all any you have configured will be "lost" by default, so share them here to reduce your upgrade effort. Also if you have a website you would like to see but couldn't figure out the search syntax list that here too and I will see if I can include it.

Thanks...
