If you have powertoys installed, you can set an alias character to represent a search engine. The way this can work to your advantage, is go to google.com and choose an advanced search and specify your goofy options like language, number of results, etc. and search for something simple like "BAR". Now copy the URL of the page you're at, and go into TweakUI to the search alias part and create a new alias "g". In the address of your search, past in that URL and replace BAR with %s, I think it is. (It'll say where to put the search terms.)
Now, whenever you want to search for something, to to IE/explorer/address bar and type "g search terms go here now" and it'll search with the settings you specified.
