Cool Google Search Macro for Visual Studio

Marty Garins wrote a really cool macro for performing a Google search from Visual Studio.

 

See the feedback section of that blog entry for a minor addition I proposed (urlencoding of the search text). By the time you are reading this, it may already be included in the macro code.

Tip: If you want to limit your search to the MSDN site, add the red text to line building the URL string:

Dim url As String = String.Format("http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=site%3Amsdn.microsoft.com+{0}", selectedText)
