I must have missed the memo, where did the web searches bundle go?

It was sort of replaced by the Hyperlink Helper bundle (I say sort of, because they are functionally related, but not equivalent).

I miss the "search google" and "shorten amazon url" commands.

As for “Shorten Amazon Link”, if you have the link on the clipboard, press ⌃⇧L to insert a link using a shortened form of the URL (if there is a selection then this will be used as the link text) -- this works for most markup languages supported by TM (HTML, Markdown, etc.)

As for “Google”, there are a few search functions in the Hyperlink Helper, but these will all insert the resulting link in your document, where the Web Searches would open a browser window.

If you need the latter behavior, I’d suggest trying Quicksilver instead. The way I do it is by pressing ⌘E to copy the text to the search clipboard, then ⌘␣ to invoke Quicksilver, and now ‘g’ + 2 × ↩ to google that. The nice thing about this workflow is that I can use ‘wp’ to Wikipedia the text, ‘im’ to Internet Movie Database the text, etc. and it works in basically all programs (not just TM) -- the downside is that if you’re not using OmniWeb, its search shortcuts, and the OmniWeb QS module, setting up these web queries in Quicksilver is IIRC not trivial.

If these solutions are not to your likings, it is possible to do a checkout of the last revision of the Web Searches bundle.
