Hello Paul,

I think Quick Access Popup is great. Can't imagine using a Windows computer without it.

Searching like this is a common thing. The way I do it is:

1. Have your preferred browser running and create a QAP Favorite of type Application. Enter the Short name you want to use and then either browse to the browser executable or (  much simpler is to select it from the drop-down list of running applications).
   
   
2. Switch to the Advanced Settings tab and in the Parameters field, enter https://www.google.com/search?q="{clipboard}"
   

See the screenshots I attached. It may be slightly different in other browsers.

Save it and now select and copy what you want to search for. Press your middle mouse button ( or Windows W ) and select the favorite you created.

For more information see Launch your browser to search for the text in your clipboard at https://www.quickaccesspopup.com/tips-launch-your-browser-to-search-for-the-text-in-your-clipboard/ .

Manually doing the search and then looking at the url can help you figure this out too.

Good luck.
