Search with marked text on ebay

Hi, how can i do this?!

Not sure about ebay but I use this to google any word I select in any program. Using Firefox. Ebay should be similar. Just exchange the URL for the search to the correct one.

Global action: Google selected text

Command 1(Keys - Send Keystrokes):
[CTRL_DOWN]c[CTRL_UP]

Command 2(Internet - Run Web Browser)

Command 3(Windows - Activate Window):
Caption: *title(or part of title) of your default browser window*
Match text as pattern: Yes
Wait for window to exist: 3000

Command 4(Utilities - Delay):
Delay: 500 ms

Command 5(Keys - Send Keystrokes):
[ALT_DOWN]d[ALT_UP]http://www.google.se/search?q=[CTRL_DOWN]v[CTRL_UP][ENTER]

My solution to your problem is can only be used in the broswer window(firefox in this example)

I have made a way for this on Firefox and it is very hand I just select the text and execute the gesture to do the search(ie wikipedia, ebay... any search box)

FIRST you need firefox
SECOND you need to get ebay to be a quick search on firefox

to get ebay to be a quick search on FF here is what you do


1 go to ebay.com using firefox
2 right click on the search box on ebay and 'Add a keyword for this search...'
3 a small window will pop up fill the all the fields accordingly as below
name: Ebay Search
keyword: e (or what ever you prefer, e)
create in: where ever you want (Bookmarks by default)
(click OK to close the window)

now you just created a quick search on FF. To test if it works clear the address bar on FF and type 'e lightsaber' and it should come up with an Ebay 'lightsaber' search

THIRD once you got the quick search set up here is the Key strokes for the example , execute your gesture after selecting the text you want to search on ebay

[CTRL_DOWN]c[CTRL_UP][CTRL_DOWN]l[CTRL_UP]e[SPACE][CTRL_DOWN]v[CTRL_UP][ENTER]

this command basically tells firefox to
Copy[selected text],
Focus on the Adress bar(CTRL+L)
type 'e'
Put a SPACE
Paste[selected text]
ENTER

very handy :)

if you prefer sticking to Internet Explorer go here
http://searchy.protecus.de/en/ I guess this can also be modified

alternatively an ebay search could also be achieved using the 'search box' on FF,IE and Opera Browser, [I dont know how to achieve this on Opera but I believe it can be done]

if you are confused about making quick searches on FF go here:

I forgot to mention this is a
'Keys - Send Keystrokes' command and I'm assuming that you know how to
set firefox as an 'Application' on strokeit
and that you know how to create a new gesture and a new command
