Someone on the MacWorld forums was annoyed that the "Search With Google" command he found in Mail used Safari instead of his preferred browser.

Here's a tool to do search for selected text on several different sites that does support your preferred browser. It's supported on Mac OS X 10.5 and up, and is native on PPC, and 32- and 64-bit Intel systems.
