Web Search Plugin

The Web Search Plugin, as the name suggests, is used to perform a web search - in the default search engine in the default browser - on the query that has been entered by the user.

Default Browser Icon

  • The icon for each web search result is that of the default browser set by the user.
  • It, and the browser path, are obtained from the user registry and updated each time the theme of PT Run is changed.

Score

  • The web search result always has a score of 0 which indicates that it would show up after each of the other plugins, other than the indexer plugin and possibly the uri plugin which both have a score of 0.
