I would suggest renaming the variable to something more generic such as "erc-button-web-search-url" or "erc-button-search-url" and changing the default value from "http://www.google.com/search?q=%s" to any of the following (or similar) at the developers' preference: * "http://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s" * "http://www.startpage.com/do/search?cat=web&query=%s" * "http://www.ixquick.com/do/search?cat=web&query=%s" * "http://search.yacy.net/yacysearch/index.html?query=%s" (requires javascript) [1] https://stallman.org/google.html Cordially, Andrew Robbins
