Google Chrome - Google Search Bar

[santiago]

There is no need to install Google Search, because it's already a part of Chrome's address bar. Type whatever you want to search right into Chrome's address bar, then press Enter

And did you know that you can search by highlighting any word or phrase?
Just highlight the text, then right click it, which gives you the option to run Google search in a new window.

High light the words and pull it to the browser. That will work as google search also. Great job on the part of google to combine all these features in to one.

I appreciate using bookmarklets such as those above to extend functionality. But there is one script that I have been looking for unsuccessfully. A script solution that would allow me to work better from Chrome.

I often research for academic and technical documents with Google Scholar. Another way of finding relevant reports is to focus on specific sites, e.g. a university, UN agencies, govt departments etc That's easy by adding the site:XXX in a Google search. What is needed to do that directly with a link to a site and better still, a list of sites found e.g. on a directory page.

I would like to be able to highlight one, 5,10 or 20 URL's, and then trigger a script which pops up an input box for a search term, and then will carry out a site limited Google search for this term.

Ideally mixing search results on one page, but I would also be content with a tab each. Or, at least, a simple, "search this site bookmarklet" would be a start.

Anybody up for this?
