Hi,

I just wanted to thank everyone that is helping here and those that put together the [**FAQs**](https://community.mp3tag.de/c/faq-frequently-asked-questions). I just read [**dano's stuff about Tools**](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/966/5), and made Google cover art search the default action for double click. Took me a bit of reading and 2 minutes to configure. ![:w00t:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/cb01eca72fe9339ff6f3ec9f1e3c5fe002be0f0a.gif ":w00t:")

**Parameter** for my custom Google cover art search:

```
http://www.google.com/images?q="$replace(%artist%, ,+)+$replace(%album%, ,+)"

```

Leave the "for all selected files" box **un** checked.

I think the "replace" in the parameters can be omitted, but I know it works as it is.

Any custom tools you guys have made and don't mind sharing? ![:music:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/2ba05d1ade5eb0d15fc173be6f717dbe63890a70.gif ":music:")
