I would like to see a new tag. it would be

[google://]

and it would take the string and turn it into a full google search string for you. so

[google://perl|Perl Links]

would automagically turn into

[http://www.google.com/search?q=perl|Perl Links]

for you.

and I just want to say, this is an amazing site, not only is it chock full of experts(r), the signal/noise ratio is better than any website that I have ever been a part of... I look foward to "wasting" many hours here. thanks again .mincus
