sublime-online-searcher's Issues

Different keyboard shortcuts for different queries?

Great plugin! I'd like to use this to emulate WriteMonkey's lookup feature. It permits one to have different keyboard shortcuts for different queries. So for example alt+1 would be google, alt+2 would be php, etc. Any idea how that could be achieved?

Feature request: fill search input with previously searched term

Hey, thanks for the great plugin. I have this strange problem with all of my ST2/3 web search plugins, that searching works in browser only after several tries. Could you please allow an option to maintain last searched text in the input so this experience could be less painful?

Disable domain keys in query

I want to use this plugin to search for symbols like Vec::new ... sadly it's recognized as the domain Vec and actually only searches for :new ...

I have custom settings with only one "default" domain, so it would be handy if the whole domain-key parsing would be disabled.

Not working if string to search for contains Unicode characters

Have to report another bug - if a string to be searched contains a Unicode character, search doesn't work and console gives this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
