You need to encode the search string that you send to escape the proper things
that need escaped.
I know how to do this in php, but I don't in AppleScript.
Something like this should work in AppleScript until someone comes along with
an all-AppleScript solution:
tell application "BBEdit"
set theSelection to the selection as string
set myQuery to do shell script "php -r 'echo trim(urlencode(" & "\"" &
myquery & "" & "\"));'"
open location "https://www.google.com/search?
as_sitesearch=codeigniter.com%2Fuser_guide%2F&q=" & myQuery &
"&sa=Go"
end tell
You may have to play around with the syntax on the do shell script part, but
that should be pretty close.
