- (2024-07-25) Ishan Mandhan: I wanted it to search Kagi instead of Google. Would that be possible? Edit: Thank you so much for adding this!
- (2023-06-16) Simon Sanggaard: Does exactly what it says. Two nice details is that it opens the search in a new adjacent tab and that clicking links with middle click still works fine. Two things that would be nice additions is that the search for the selected text does not open the tab in the background (like middle clicking a link does) and that for some reason it doesn't seem to work on Chrome sites (Like permissions, or the Chrome Web Store) for selected text.
