So I’ve made this useful shortcut to easily run it for the current (test) project. Screenshots are made on Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional running on Windows 7.

This is a nice little feature, you can select a search engine, type the search terms and submit. Then search engines site is opened with results. Usually suggestions are shown as you type.
