Google Search

This scripts allows you to search Google from Sunbeam.

Refer to the devdocs extension for a more complete example of writing an extension as a shell script. This example demonstrates how to write an extension that uses the search mode.

Each time the user types a character, the script is called with the query as argument. The emptyText field is used to display a message when no items are shown in the list.
