Description

On the font search, it redundantly adds the search term both to the beginning and the end of the search string. For example, searching for "ROUNDED" does a google search for:
___
ROUNDED site:http://www.searchfreefonts.com/font OR site:www.dafont.com OR site:http://www.searchfreefonts.com/ -comments -categories.php -comment.phpROUNDED
___

Note that in appending the term to the end, the gadget joins the first term with the "-comment.php", making the "-comment.php" do nothing. So while GreyWyvern's complaint that

may have been solved by adding the term to the beginning, you should still remove it from the end if you want that "-comment.php" exclusion to work.

All in all however, it's a nice gadget, so thanks. =)

Oops, I accidentally wrote "omment.php" in the title, instead of "-comment.php", but you can see what I meant. =P
