Wish-list: function for searching on google



This bug report will be sent to the emacs-w3m development team,
 not to your local site managers!!
Please write in simple English, because the emacs-w3m developers
aren't good at English reading. ;-)

Please describe as succinctly as possible:
	- What happened.
	- What you thought should have happened.
	- Precisely what you were doing at the time.

Please also include any Lisp back-traces that you may have.

Dear Bug Team!

Other browsers (e.g. Mozilla-Firefox) includes a function for typing a
search term and then searching for that term on google (and possibly
other search engines).

Using that function the user can execute a search typing only three
keys: Ctrl-k and Enter.

In emacs-w3m I haven't found any better way to do a google-search than
this (having google as my first bookmark).

v
tab
enter
tab tab tab tab tab tab
enter

[typing the search term]

enter
tab
enter

That is 13 key-strokes. Could that be reduced?

TIA
