I believe the only thing that needs to be changed is the line marked in red. [...] I'm supposed to be able to use the following to open everything and search the below example would open everything and automatically search for foo bar.
C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe -s "foo bar"
Well, you kinda answered your own question - something like this should be close:
Code:
engineURLQuery="C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe -s {q}"
The {q} part is replaced by what you type in the skin, as far as the code comments say, so if you typed "foo bar" a bang should execute the command you mentioned. Other than that it's possible that you'll have to play a bit with either single or multiple quotes when defining the engineURLQuery variable, e.g.
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" "-s {q}" or even
""C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" "-s {q}"" considering that Rainmeter strips leading and ending quotes from the value of an option. See the beginning of this page for a few examples:
