Looks good BUT - daver969

So of course the reason there aren't any European sites in there is because I don't use those sites, BUT, this is exactly why I made it customizable: so that anyone could change/add/remove sites from the list. It's relatively straightforward, if you know how to construct the search string for the website you're interested in you can edit the 'urls.xml' and 'search.xml' files in the widget package.
It's described in more detail in the documentation, but basically all you need to do is look at those two files to see what's going on. The 'url' file stores urls for the various searches, and the 'searches' file determines which items actually show up in the boxes (it's divided up this way so that I can do multiple searches at once, sending a search string to amazon, borders and barnes&noble simultaneously, for example).

So if anyone develops a set of urls localized for other areas that they'd like to send me I'd be happy to post "localized" versions of the widget.
