This EXTREMELY USEFUL script allows you to search for other things much more quickly using the wonders of Google. Example: search for "i: pandas" in Google and it'll redirect you to an image search for pandas. Or search "w: band cursive" in Google and it'll send you to the Wikipedia page about the indie band Cursive.
