Google Search extension

8bitjake

Here, I'd like to introduce a Google Search extension. This extension uses the color of the 1st “o” in the Google logo (which is #ea4235). Here's an example block with this color:

::#ea4235 stack

What about the icon in the editor?
It's the classic “G”! This extension would search google and output results.
Blocks

search Google for [search term] and output result #() of page () ::#ea4235 stack

Searches Google for the entered search term and enters the designated result of the designated page. (What a mouthful!)

search Google for [search term] and output page () ::#ea4235 stack

Same as before, but it outputs a whole page of results.
Those 2 blocks also have a version that searches for random search terms. Both these versions also have reporter blocks that store the results or pages in a variable, as shown here:

(result #() of page () of search term [search term] ::#ea4235)
(result #() of page () of random search term ::#ea4235)
(page () of search term [search term] ::#ea4235)
(page () of random search ::#ea4235)

_________________________________________

(# of results in search term [search term] ::#ea4235)

Takes the number of results in a search and stores them in variable form.
Also, it would be useful to have a hat block that starts a script when a term is searched for.

when search term [search term] searched for::#ea4235 hat

Tell me what you think of these!

______________________________________________________
EDIT: Also, what about a boolean block for if a term is searched for?

<[search term] searched for? ::#ea4235>

Or a variable that is the search term of a random search!

(search term of random search ::#ea4235)

Well, these blocks aren't out yet.

Although you could make the

search Google for [search term] and output result #() of page () ::#ea4235 stack

block into a custom.

I didn't even know that Scratch was accessible in China. The more you know, eh?

This probably isn't allowed since google could have images not suitable for scratch and this block would serve no purpose because you could just go on the site you got on scratch with and search.

Sheep_maker

@Capt_Stoney_Beard brings up a valid point. Indeed, Google Docs removed the Google Image search option from their insert image dialogue for a similar reason, so if Google can't make it Scratch-friendly, I doubt the ST can too
