Putting Google Before Wikipedia in Gnome 3 integrated search.

This is just a little hack.  Hopefully others might find it useful.

When utilizing Gnome 3's integrated search feature the user also has the option to search for what they're looking for either from Wikipedia or Google.  Apparently Gnome 3 is reading these search providers in from the xml files in /usr/share/gnome-shell/search_providers and they appear in reverse alphabetical order.

It would be much more useful for me if Google was the default search instead of Wikipedia.  So I simply renamed the file google.xml to xoogle.xml so it would come after wikipedia in alphabetical order.

Laters! smile
