Would it be possible to package this as a plugin for chrome-based browsers?

In their infinite wisdom, Microsoft chose to not offer search engine selection for IntelliSense compile error codes, e. g. CS0006, but instead hard-code the request as https://bingdev.cloudapp.net/BingUrl.svc/Get?selectedText=Metadata file '[absolute path which might contain sensitive information]' could not be found&mainLanguage=C#&requestId=[a GUID, probably for internal analytics]&errorCode=CS0006

Because of the initially different hostname, the DDG redirector doesn't catch it - my PR #8 aims to mitigate that a bit.

Perhaps, if @allanburleson is willing to guide me, I can further enhance the PR to include the mainLanguage parameter, i. e. insert it at the start of the DDG search query, enabling DDG to search for C# CS0006 instead of only CS0006.

Additionally, this could be even further enhanced by including everything from the selectedText value except the sensitive part between the apostrophes.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to https://maps.google.com/
2. Search for some random place, e. g. Berlin, via upper left search input field.

Expected result:
Google Maps moves & centers at Berlin on the map, lists details at the left sidebar, etc.

Actual result:
Only a small toast notification at the bottom appears, stating: Server error. Please try again later

The error happens due to the extension redirecting not only Google searches, but Google Maps searches, too & that fails due to CORS missing allow origin:

Can you make it so that links that are clicked in emails within Gmail actually open as links instead of redirecting to DDG?
