putting stupid search engine urls back

[Gabriel Ramuglia]

Glad it worked out.

One last thing of note is that "." equals "any single character",
whereas in your example i think you want it to match a literal period,
which is done via \. In the example above this shouldn't cause any
problems that I can forsee, as a period is a single character that is
matched by ".", but I thought you might want to be aware of this.
