Simple Cortana Web Search

[RickyD333]

I just made up a simple command to do web searches with Cortana. It works just about as good as Google voice search, but the one big advantage it has is its efficiency. Prior to Cortana, I was using Google voice search for browsing the web. It required Vox to open Chrome, pause for x seconds (allow browser to load-- sometimes would not pause long enough because browser took longer to load), then hotkey the voice search. Using Cortana, Vox just inputs the Cortana voice search hotkey and bam, there you go. Super quick.

You may want to add an action to put VC into standby as well so that it is not trying to interpret your speech when you are talking to Cortana.

Ooo, excellent point. Just fixed it!
