Add button/section to search lyrics online (google and other search engines) #4576

It could be nice to add an online search section in the lyrics plugin. To open directly in a search engine.

Something like :
http://www.google.com/search?q={artist}+{title} https://duckduckgo.com/?q={artist}+{title} etc...

Example :
clementine-google-search-lyrics-link

I found the function GLyrics but i don't understand where it is used. Is it some depreciated stuff from amarok ?

If the idea interest you, I'll be happy to help !

hmmm... I'm not sure of the benefit of this, as we are already gathering lyrics and other information about artist in this panel. And I think we already retrieve plenty of lyrics. Not sure searching on Google will help to find lyrics we were not able to find in our lyrics providers, or at least this not very often.
