My suggestion to this is:
    http://git.bewatermyfriend.org/browse/zsh-lookup/_index.html

The only search engine backend currently is google... Well, someone
would have to step forward on that one...

I'm looking forward to get this into zsh upstream (the automatic
import-into-zsh-git-repo script might have given that away), so when
that's done, this bug could vanish in no time.

I still have to improve the docs and I want to clean up the code a
little more. The system itself works pretty damn well so far. Testers
welcome. Comments welcome. Additional backends are welcome, too
 - but expect me to thoroughly review such code. :-)

Back to the topic of this bug:

You can create aliases for backends. What I'm doing for google is, I
aliased it to 's'. So, I can do:
    % lu s whatever I want to search via google
Now, let's assume I get a backend for, say, 'scroogle', a user could
alias it to 's' and be able to search via that just like I am able to
search google. Transparently. I think that pretty much covers what
this issue is about.
