Looking for multiple Googler script

G'day

I'm looking for a script that can search multiple instances of Google
(or other search engines optionally). The user types in a single word
in the text field, presses ENTER or the submit button, and the browser
launches several instances of Google with the single word + other
search terms.

I would like to have this script because I'm a translator and
frequently need to look up the meaning of words. I Google using
combinations like searchterm+glos sary, searchterm+term s,
searchterm+glos sary+site:.coun trycode (for country specific usage)
etc.

The way I see it, basically the script should take the user's word and
concatenate it with the prefix "http://www.google.com/search?q=" and
the suffix "+glossary&num= 100", and then launch a window with that
URL. I managed to adapt a simple password URL script to do this, but
it only launches one instance of Google. I'd like to launch several
windows each with a different combination.

Searches for phrases can take the prefix
"http://www.google.com/search?q=%22" and the suffix
"%22+glossary&n um=100", on a seperate section of the page meant for
phrase searches.

It would be nice if the script can automatically determine in the case
of single words that the words entered by the user needs to be
concatenated with "+" inbetween, but this is entirely optional. An
alternative method to allow the user to search more than one word is
to simply have a form with a number of text boxes. Since Google
ignores extra plusses in the search URL (a search for
searchterm+sear chterm will yield the same result as
searchterm+++++ searchterm or searchterm+++se archterm++), it won't
break the script if some of the boxes are left empty.

Does such a script exist, or if not, can anyone please write me one?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot! This does exactly what I needed. I have one question,
though, if you don't mind: I'd like the windows to open full screen
with scrollbars (with or without address field, that's optional). I
managed to get full screen by changing

window.open(sea rch,
("window"+Math. random()).repla ce(/\./,""),
"top="+(50*coun t)+",left="+(50 *count)
);

to

window.open(sea rch);

but I could not figure out how to enable the scroll bars. The only
scripts or information I could find on the web deal with *removing*
them, heh-heh.

Thanks again.

Your solution should provide scrollbars if the browser detects that
the content is larger than the window.
When you specify any window attribute, any that you don't specify
default to "off" instead of "on", so if you want to specify that
scrollbars are to appear, you also have to list all of the other
window attributes that you want:

window.open(sea rch,
"somename",
"toolbar,locati on,directories, status,menubar, scrollbars,resi zable");

where "somename" must be unique if you're opening multiple windows.
That's the reason for the Math.random() business.

If you're not getting scrollbars by default, specifying them might
not create them either, since the browser doesn't think they're needed.
That may depend on which browser you're using.
