GarageGames Google search in TGB

I thought this might be a handy feature so I did it.

Want to launch your favorite browser with your favorite search term on your favorite website?

With this handy little resource you can type what you want to search for in TGB and have it query the GarageGames Google search engine.

Just extract this file into your $installPath/games/tools/resources/
$installPath being the path you installed Torque Game Builder into.

Once you have extracted the folder into that path, you need to restart TGB and then search away.

*Oh yeah - if you are already using the Hall of Worlds project reloader resource you can go into the 3gsearch directory and rename resourceDatabase.cs to resourceDatabase_bak.cs then rename HOWresourceDatabase.cs to resourceDatabase.cs then reload TGB and the icons will be positioned correctly next to the HOW button.

That's cool, but the only time I could see some one using this is during development, and when I develop I normally have Torque windowed and a browser window open.

Still, it's pretty neat. Nice work.

Thanks Will - that was the idea. Instead of having to launch the browser and go to the search page on GarageGames to search for code or how to do something. This gets the GG search results quicker to the developer.

Sounds nice, but I firmly put this into the "You know your lazy when" category :)

yes - once I have the remote control I like to use it :)
