Who can do it?

Ok,
Was just on irc there chatting away and I came up with a great idea. Would it be possible to create a command to open up a webpage automatically? I mean in the instance of google. It would be great if you could type /google followed by your search term and it would automatically open a web page and search google for you.
Anybody out there willing to make IRC life that little bit easier?:)

Open mirc, go to Tools -> Scripts editor in the toolbar, select the 'aliases' tab in the new window that opens, and then paste this in at the end of the file..

google {
  if ( $chr(32) isin $$1- ) {
    set %googlestring $replace($$1-,$chr(32),+)
    run http://www.google.com/search?q= $+ %googlestring $+ &ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en
  }
  else {
    run http://www.google.com/search?q= $+ $$1 $+ &ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en
  }
}

Press ok, then just type "/google my google search here" and it'll open a new browser window with the results.
