Javascript bookmarklet to send url of current page to bing

A bookmarklet is a bookmark whose address is JavaScript code.

I would like to get the URL of the current page I am on and paste that into the text box of the Bing search page.

I can get the URL easily enough: 

javascript:(function(){var%20url=window.location.href;alert(url);})();

But then how do I set the text box on the Bing page to my variable, url and then make it search?

This does not work: 

javascript:(function(){var%20url=window.location.href;window.open%20("https://www.bing.com/search?q=&url");})();
Solution

  • Use the following bookmarklet code:

    javascript:{window.location='http://bing.com/search?q='+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href)}
