Quick Searches on Wikipedia

Long time ago I developed this tiny script for the IMatch DAM tool mostly as a proof-of-concept more than an tool for active use. Anyway, it occurred to me that it might useful or amusing for some people, or maybe a starting point for more elaborate scripts.

This script takes the name of the currently selected category in IMatch, and launches a web browser to show the Wikipedia search hits for that name. For example, if I select category Palo Alto in the IMatch category panel and run this script, it will launch the browser to show the Wikipedia topic for the city of Palo Alto.
