i think i have an idea forsomething you might like..there won't be any fancy buttons but will open your search in a separate fixed size window as you want..i use that same ting with dr.web extension..instead of opening in a new tab(tiresome) or new window(confusing with all buttons etc).. i made a new profile and called 'scanner'..for that profile, i removed all toolbars etc

to do this , you have to follow certain steps (similar to privacy mode)

open edit>profiles manager> create new profile> ask at startup (e.g call new profile 'search'

restart kmeleon select 'new profile' and open its preferences to hide all toolbars etc so it's like a kiosk mode(only kiosk mode follows the main profile lst window so isn't exactly how you want it)

when all your settings are set for the new profile, restart kmeleon..select your main  profile from the profiles manager prompt and unselect 'ask at startup'..close kmeleon after that.

now this is a very very important step to ensure that your main profile will always be default (because normally kmeleon will interchange last used profile as default and this can be problematic if you close the search'profile' window last.
go to your kmeleon profiles folder %appdata% or kmeleon root etc gind the file called profiles.ini , right click on it and in its properties select 'read-only'

now you will need to create a macro to open you search term or query using that new profile.. you just need the selected text and set as a string using the exec command.. the command that you will need to use that new profile e.g if new profile name is search

[color=#000088][sub]searchplus{
$_pr_path=getfolder(RootFolder)."\\k-meleon.exe -new -P search";
$searchstring=("google.com/search?");
#(not sure the exact string or #whatever engine you prefer

#then attach the selected word to the last string
$clipmain=getclipboard();
setclipboard("");
id(ID_EDIT_COPY);
$searchterm=getclipboard();
exec($_pr_path . $searchstring.$searchterm);
setclipboard($clipmain);
}

#creates a menu entry
searchplus_BuildMenu{
setmenu(Selection,macro,"Search Popup",searchplus);
}

$OnInit=$OnInit."searchplus_BuildMenu;";
$macroModules=$macroModules."searchplus;";[/sub][/color]

ofcourse this is a very raw macro, you can use it as a guideline/template but first you must make that new profile for search without any menubars and set a default width and height for its window according to your preferences[/quote]
