Information

Google Utilities is a script that allows you to use many of Google's search functions! I've made an easy to use user interface which allows you to customise many options which Google provides - e.g which country and/or language.

You can access Google Utilities from within the Plus! icon as shown below .

Features

• Google Search: !gsearch <query> [Returns top 3 searches, although you can customise this in the preferences]
  
• Google Results: !gresults <query> [Returns number of results for the query]
  
• Google Spelling Suggestion: !gspell <phrase> [Returns a spelling suggestion for incorrect words]
  
• Google Cache: !gcache <url> [Returns the size of Google's cached page for the url query and also the cached link]
  
• Google Fight: !gfight <query1>|<query2> [Returns the amount of results for both searches and determines which query is the winner]
  
• Google Define: !gdefine <query> [Returns a link for Google's defintion page for the query. As this is not supported in the API it is only the link that is returned.

and... Google Utilities is 100% documented. If you are thinking of making your own script, please have a read through my source code! Every instruction has documentation beside it showing you exactly how it works! Hopefully this will help a few people create their own scripts .




This is an example of the Google Search feature. You can customise this feature in the preferences to restrict the search to specific languages or countries. You can also set the number of results which is shown between 1 - 10.




This is Google Utilities' preferences area. Here you can specify all the settings you'd like the script to use when performing the above features.




This Help window is included so if you forget a command (or what each command does) you can easily look it up.
