Launcher can be configured via config.ini

The NewTaskSearchDirs item contains list of directories where SE search for executable files. Default settings is:
NewTaskSearchDirs=%DESKTOP%;%DESKTOPALL%;%ALLUSERS_APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch;%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch;%START_MENU%;%START_MENUALL%;%FAVORITES%;

You can also define text shorcuts. There's 3 in default config.ini.
NewTaskFS_=http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=$$$
NewTaskFS_W=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$$$
NewTaskFS_MSDN=http://search.msdn.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?locale=en-us&Refinement=86&Query=$$$&StartIndex=0&lang=en-us&Brand=Msdn

How to use it in dialog ? Just type "# AnyText" and AnyText will be searched via google. Type "#w AnyText" and AnyText will be searched in wikipedia...etc.
