NbQuickSearchExtender

Extends the quick search of netbeans with google, stackoverflow, npm and wikipedia search provider.

It is a pain in the ass, if we add a new toolbar to netbeans only to add a new search provider like the google example from netbeans or the plugin to add search inside stackoverflow or for jar files etc. Because you have so move toolbars than each will look differnet, maybe has an other behaviour and so on. This is why I developed this little plugin which already extends the Quick Search with new search provider, for example, google, npm, wikipedia or stackoverflow.

You can see inside the code how easy it is to add a new provider to my plugin maybe via a pull request or so.

Legend

1. g = google.com
2. n = npmjs.com
3. w = wikipedia.com
4. st = stackoverflow.com
5. gh = github.com
6. bb = bitbucket.org
7. pg = packagist.org
8. dh = hub.docker.com

Usage

1. Go to quick search (Maybe with Ctrl + I)
2. Type "g netbeans" and see the results
3. Hit enter or use the mouse to click on a link to open it inside the browser

Known provider problems

1. Bower.io - Unfortunately it's not possible to use this, because bower.io do an ajax call which and bind the result with angular. If I read the links of the result, the result is still empty. Don't know how to fix it atm.
2. Findjar.com - I tried it but I got a socket timeout, because of the long response time.

See how it works
