winSsearch is a tiny Windows utility for instant web searches. It automatically copies the highlighted text in the current window, switches to your browser and does a new search.
- Download and run winSsearch.exe
- Select some text anywhere (on your Desktop, in Microsoft Word etc)
- Press Windows logo key + S
- Your web browser runs the search
Tip: copy winSsearch.exe to your Startup folder in your Start menu so that it’s aways running.

Or select text somewhere else

Win-S switches to your browser and runs the search
This saves me about 10 seconds on every search I do. In my case that adds up to quite a lot of time in a day. Google is your friend!
