Adding Search Engine to Notepad ++ ?
To any here who may be familiar with Notepad++,
The title basically says it. I'd like to know if it's possible to add a search engine to Notepad++. Presently it allows me to highlight a word and search Google or Wikipedia. But I'd like to be able to search an online thesaurus site, since NP++ doesn't have a thesaurus plug-in of its own. (I mainly use NP++ for composing text, not coding.) There seems to be no way to add one, but not knowing that much about these things I could easily be missing something.
Just FYI I do have Word 2007 but I often prefer using a smaller program like NP++ for many things but miss the instant access to a thesaurus (for synonyms mainly). I figured, since I often have my browser open anyway, I could get by with an online search at thesaurus.com if I could get NP++ to recognize it. And I'd prefer the ease of a few keyboard clicks in NP++ to do the search rather than having to have a thesaurus site opened all the time in the browser and enter the information manually.
Anyway, thanks for any feedback!

(Btw, I'll spare any readers an extended description of my failed attempt to get NP++'s own forum site to recognize my recently created Twitter account (opened just for the purpose of starting a thread there). But that does explain why I'm posting here. Besides I got very helpful NP++ help here the last time I had a question, so....)
