SQL Server Developer >> Launch BOL with a keyword?

Is it possible to launch SQL Server 2005 Books OnLine (BOL) supplying
a keyword, rather than open BOL, click the Search tab, type/paste the
keyword and hit Search? Yes, I'm lazy :) Thanks.

SQL Server Developer >> Launch BOL with a keyword? Highlight the keyword(s) in a query window and press Shift-F1.

SQL Server Developer >> Launch BOL with a keyword? Yet another nugget for me from the forums! I do wish, however, that if a
copy of BOL was already opened it would use that for its search and not open
a new BOL.

SQL Server Developer >> Launch BOL with a keyword? and... as of 2005, shift isn't needed. Just F1 will do.

SQL Server Developer >> Launch BOL with a keyword? Hmmm. For me it does. (From SQL 2000 QA or from SQL 2005 SSMS). Wonder
why? Or why not?

SQL Server Developer >> Launch BOL with a keyword? As far as I understand, whether or not you get a new window depends on if your "host" (QA/SSMS)
already has opened a BOL or not. Try opening BOL from start menu. Then F1. You get new window. Close
both. Not do F1 and F1 again. Only one BOL.
