Useful bookmarklet

Tested in Firefox 1.0.7:

Bookmarklet to Google accross all Word groups for either the currently
selected text, or user input:

<a
href="javascript:Qr=document.getSelection();if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('Keywords...',''))};if(Qr)location.href='http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?q='+escape(Qr)+'+group:microsoft.public.word.*&num=20'">Search
Word Groups</a>

I've got this on my Firefox links bar, and it's much quicker than
typing microsoft.public.word.* in the Google advanced search all the
time.

I think you can do something similar in IE, but the Javascript is
slightly different.

Hope this is useful to someone,

Ben
