You are correct about that "Get opinion" is (currently) only populated from user input. This version of the application was released only a few days ago, and was the first to include the Informed Individual plugin.

Any chance this "app" could become more of an HID type driver that could be activated by a half press of the camera button when you have text box highlighted where it will recognize the barcode and enter it into the form automatically?

Actually, for fun I registered at http://www.informedindividual.org/ but it doesn't really give me any related functionality. I can only login to some Wordpress interface there. Didn't find any product database...
Where do I have to look?
Well if it's all about finally identifying yourself by means of that barcode on your forehead

I've just added a plugin which lets you look up any result on Google. It will be expanded with more search engines later.
It should show up in extras-devel within a couple of minutes. Just search for mbarcode and install mbarcode-plugin-webrequest. It will be included by default in the next version of mbarcode.
How do you suggest the user should select the search engine? Should it be a button saying "Look up with search engine" which opens a dialog where one could select Google, Amazon etc.?

In addition to preselected search engines, user could create custom engines with custom URL and Name. For example "%s" would be the searched string like in desktop Opera. E.g "http://www.google.com/search?q=%s"
Before implementing that I suggest that the default engine could be google.com instead of google.no
As a general mbarcode feedback, I would like to be able to copy the code in all cases. Maybe show it in a text box where system copy is possible.

These were just some random boxes I picked at home and at least they return some related hits (on German google).
