Need help creating a service using the Automator

Shields_MCMXCIX ~ As Apple says in their WWDC video: "Shortcuts is the future of Mac automation", try this Search For Text shortcut which can be run from the Services menu. It would need to be modified to search a document. It was created (not by me) to run on iOS devices — hence the comment in the shortcut says to initiate it from the Share menu. But on a Mac, right-click on a word and choose Services > Search For Text.

Try to create a Quick Action Workflow in Automator like this one:

Here's the Shell Script to use:

for query in "$@"
do
    open "https://www.google.com/?q=$query"
done

You'll find the saved service listed under the Service menu in every app. The search query in the example is for Google. You have to check and customize the search query for your websites.
