Fellow TextMates,
Allan has added a nice little menu in 1.0.1 for the times when two or
more things 'clash' on the same keyboard shortcut (like commands)...
this then allowed us to 'stack' multiple similar commands (like search
engines) onto the one key command, like the 'help' key. which is very
cool.
So, I've added support for Dictionary.com, Google, Thesaurus.com,
Wikipedia, Yahoo in the default bundle, and PHP.net in the PHP bundle.
See screen grab attached. Basically, it pumps the current word into
your chosen search engine, and it works great!!

I'm looking for nominations for additional searches to be added to the
Default, PHP, HTML or CSS bundles... right now it doesn't appear we can
add W3.org sites, because there's no nice flat URL structure to work
off, and no focused search engine.
Feel free to also say "we don't need Yahoo", etc etc.
I'm thinking perhaps an amazon.com search would be a possibility, but
really I'm looking for any search-based technical references that could
be of help to the masses of TM users by feeding it the current word.
It's totally easy to add your own in 1.0.1 by the way :)
Justin
