Just "Search..." in toolbar options and the same for keyboard shortcut, default should be Ctrl+F.

AFAIK there is no such variable yet. Would be nice if Marek could implement it, though!

I came to this solution after a quick search on internet, so it may be stupid, but it worked on my computer.
In "program or folder" put "cmd.exe", and in "parameter":
/c for %i in ("%ActivItem%") do "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "
http://www.google.com/search?q=%~ni"
[later edit]
in case you want to search when selected more than one file, you can use this [
with "separate for each selected item" checked]:
/c for %i in (%ActivSel%) do "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "
http://www.google.com/search?q=%~ni"
BTW, this is great for searching subtitles from video filenames on google.
