I'm trying to cross check some info on a medical website for correctness. My goal is to highlight select phrases on this website then cross check the research on wikipedia, pubmed, ovid, Google and educus to insure what we're telling people is correct. I've been separate copy/pasting but I'm looking for a way to speed this task by copying then hitting a hotkey and having the sites auto search and open in a separate tab. I've tried Autohotkey.

^z::

send ^c

clipwait

run "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%clipboard%&go=Go"

run "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=%clipboard%"

run "http://www.Google.com/search?hl=en&q=%clipboard%&btnG=Search"

run http://www.educus.com/

Winwait educus

Sendinput %clipboard% {Return}

return

I can't seem to figure out how to get this to work for Educus and Ovid. I'm a non programmer and a newb at this so simple language/explanation would be very helpful.

Looking at educus, it uses POST to submit the search - not sure if AutoHotkey would be of much use – Sathya Aug 15 '11 at 4:27
Winwait waits for the given title to appear. In case of Educus it's Free Online Medical Journals | Search Abstract, so your Winwait educus won't work, because the Educus page does not have educus in the title. – Tom Aug 15 '11 at 6:45

For Ovid it would be

run "http://www.ovid.com/cgi-bin/texis.cgi/webinator/search5/?pr=newovid2&order=r&query=%clipboard%&submit=Submit"  

Looking at educus, it uses POST to submit the search - not sure if AutoHotkey would be of much use. Will try to dig in and update.
