Product Description:

Select some text. �Hit "Shift-Apple-G". �Get Google results. A simple background service to allow you to select text in (nearly) any application and press "Shift-Apple-G" to launch a Google search for that text. This release is context aware. When you select text from Project Builder, a browser opens up searching developer.apple.com instead of Google. You can define your own contexts (application-grain) and choose what URLs they apply to. This is public domain, but if you like it and have the means, please spare a donation.

What's new in this version:

installer erases the need to logout/login to use the service!
context-aware (application grain); map URLs to program contexts (as many as you'd like, 1 to 1 mapping)
you can now change the default URL (search anything you want or add custom options to the google URL)
automatic upgrade kills your former SearchGoogle services and updates you; no logout/login
instructions on how to change the key binding if you don't like 'G'
now on a gzipp'ed dmg
code cleanup
new documentation

This little wonder has been working great since I installed it over two years ago. Although the description claims 10.3 compatibility, it's working here on 10.5.5.

When I revisited this posting before sending it to a friend, and I found the Download and developer links all get a page-not-found (404) error. Perhaps it's a transient problem, and GU.ST will return.
