Day 30 - Google Any Text
This app allows you to google the selected text from any application. Well, not "any" application. While a couple more hours of enhancements could have made it stronger - it currently works from within any textbox or richtextbox control. To activate it, press Ctrl-F11 after highlighting the text. This will cause your default browser to open with the search performed. The application resides in the systray as a red "G", and can be exited from the context menu.
Expect some mods to come out for this one to improve it's ability!

Congrats on reaching the 30 day mark. That's a long time to put out an app a day. The source code has been fun to play around with. Thanks for putting this out there for us.
None of these apps are running on my PC (XP Sp2)
They all crash with "The Application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click OK to terminate the application."
Faulting application anappaday.mouseheatmap.winapp.exe, version 1.0.0.0, stamp 4521e45d, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 5.1.2600.2945, stamp 44ab9a84, debug? 0, fault address 0x00012a5b.
Afer installing the updated .NET runtimes.
i think there should be (Please make one is what i mean) an application that can add album art to songs. It would be great if it takes the info from id3 then searches, downloads, and loads the pic auto matically. i would drool if it loaded this information automatically for your whole itunes library. If not you're still cooler than my dad. I was never taken to the theme park. oh yeah i was im just scared of roller coasters.
this is cool, works everytime for me. I was thinking about writing something like this to search my corporate directory at work. Thanks
Great idea, your website!
is it possible to make it work other way? I mean, to someway add "Search Google" item inder the standard Cut, Copy, Paste items in context menus? with some dll registred into the Windows
This one is really gud app for googlers like me...ne ways thanks for sharing.
Can we have link exchange...?
another way to do it with AutoHotKey freeware.

I was going to suggest an AHK script as well. The right tool for the job! About the code though, you can make it start with the default browser like this.
#G:: ;Win+G
TempCliboard := ClipboardAll
Send, ^c ;Ctrl+C
ClipWait ;wait for clipboard to contain text
Run www.google.com/search?q=%Clipboard%
return
