Google search with unicode or HTMLText?

[Kenji Kojima]

Curt,

I don't know Russian, but it works in Japanese.

on mouseUp
    put "http://www.google.com/search?q=" into tWordToSearch
    put urlEncode(unidecode(fld "word field", utf8)) of cd "Review  
Words" after tWordToSearch
    revGoURL tWordToSearch
end mouseUp
