After seeing your thread starter I did a Google search for Bing. I copied and
pasted the first hit into a chat window. About 2/3 of the way into the
complete paste is http://www.bing.com/. So I then copied it back into the
Google input box, held the BS key down briefly, and cut the URL. It's clumsy
compared to your scripts I guess, but it works on any system you sit down to,
whether it has those scripts available or not.

OTOH, I think this is good incentive to try Bing for a while.
