Dear All,

I long time ago there was a very big TW and it had a feature where instead of Tw showing "the tiddler doesn't exist" it created a button with "would you like to google this term"

I saw it demonstrated at Osmo towers by its creator....my memory fails me...

It was a great idea. It would be wonderful it could be implemented in TW5 

best wishes

Alex

Edit [[$:/language/MissingTiddler/Hint] and paste in the following content:
-------------------------------
\define googleLink()
[[search Google for: "$(currentTiddler)$"|https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=$(currentTiddler)$]]
\end
Missing tiddler "<$text text=<<currentTiddler>>/>" - click {{$:/core/images/edit-button}} to create

Eric,

would it be possible to move the edit button itself into the tiddler prompt?
I would be nice to click on the little pencil next to the google button instead of moving my eyes up to the right.

these small eye movement and the requisite clicking accuracy add to eye strain and slow my tiddling... I want to go faster!

Anyone reading this who wants to try searching google scholar - it doesn't work in the same way

To search wikipedia, use this code, adapted from Eric's

------
\define googleLink()
\end

<<googleLink>>
