About
With this User Script, you can override the built-in search with Google's.
Just begin type in your query as usual in the search in the upper right corner, but prefix it with gq: to google all questions or gu: to google all user profiles.
Examples:
gq:unicorn(finds a question with the word unicorn)gq:"a unicorn"(finds a question with the phrase a unicorn)gu:unicorn(finds all user profiles with the word unicorn)
