Google search extension for VS Code

Google Search

A simple extension allowing developers to perform a Google search of any highlighted text, straight from the VS Code editor.

• Highlight some text in the editor (or just point the cursor inside a word)
• Use the VS Code Command Palette or Menu tool button to launch a preview window with the Google search results
• Links from the search open in your default browser
• Code and search without needing to switch between your browser and IDE

Functionality

The Google search extension allows developers to highlight a section of their code and perform a search, displaying the results in a separate pane within VS Code.

Clicking on any of the links in the search results launches into your browser for a fuller experience.
Use it to gain quick access to documentation, find code snippets, check spelling or use Google's numeric expression calculator.
