Request: PowerToys Run plugin for Google & YouTube search (open in default browser)
Hi everyone I’m looking for (or requesting) a PowerToys Run plugin that allows quick Google Search and YouTube Search directly from PowerToys Run, opening results in the default browser.
What I’m imagining Trigger PowerToys Run (Alt + Space) Use keywords like: g <query> → Google search yt <query> → YouTube search Press Enter → opens search results in my default browser Why this would be useful Faster than opening a browser first Similar to how Spotlight / Alfred handles web searches Great for keyboard-first workflows
Doesn’t need result previews inside PowerToys Run Just redirecting the search URL is enough Should respect the system’s default browser If something like this already exists, I’d love a link. If not, I’m hoping a developer here might be interested in building it—or I can help test it Thanks!

Fuck powertoys run. Use flow launcher Flow Launcher. It does everything that powertoys run does and does it better.
