A lot of sites use the google custom search as the search function on their sites (for instance: [http://userscripts.org/search]).
This leads to the following problems with RP:
* If you are browsing a lot of different sites (doing a research, etc.), you have to enable google manually for each sites, which is quite tedious. (Allowing request generally to google is no option IMO.)
* When the request to google for a site is allowed, this may lead to a insecure feeling, since one doesn't know what else besides the search requests are transfered to google.

So, I was wondering if it would be possible to recognize these search queries to google? [[BR]]
If so, this could be used then as an option in RP, which (when enabled) '''automagically''' allows the the google custom (site) search requests, whether request to google are allowed or not.
