[Dictionarysearch] Words get lowercased in the target URL

Hi,

Using DictionarySearch 1.5 on both Firefox and Thunderbird.  Great 
extension.  However, I have a question/suggestion.

I also use DictionarySearch to send 'words' to other sites... like 
Wikipedia.  For example, I have this as an option....

Search Wikipedia for "$"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$

It works most of the time... unless the word I'm looking for happens to 
be all uppercased.  For example, if I try to do a Wikipedia search for 
USFF, the DictionarySearch extension will send out the URL as 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usff.  When it does this, the Wikipedia 
site will not bring up the article... since the extension lower-cased 
all but the first letter before sending it out.  Is there an easy 
workaround for this... or can it be fixed?

thanks,
Scott
