- (2023-10-22) Necip A.: I have been trying to make a similar extension for 2-3 days. You have done it, you have done it much better, I wish I had seen it before, I would not have tried so hard. + I wish there was a pop up option. For example, when I search for words in Cambridge, 820 x 1180 popup would open on the right side of the screen without adress bar and I would never have to change tabs. Please add that.

- (2022-07-09) Viktor Engineer: Разработчик огромный молодец, такие функции должны быть по умолчанию. Есть пара пожеланий - заменить палитру на менее вырвиглазную (слишком много красных плиток) и добавить поиск по картинкам яндекс. Спасибо
- (2022-06-27) Fred Eric: The best of its kind. I’ve been awaiting such extension for years. I used to use something similar in firefox 2, ages ago. Broken by upgrades.

- (2021-03-28) RainLine: When I use this, it turns the search engine into Russian language (google, youtube, etc). I will not use this anymore.

- (2019-01-06) Stas Bolobon: Большое спасибо! Очень удобно, куча настроек, а главное - поиск выделенного текста в любых поисковиках с помощью шорткатов! Сказка.

- (2017-08-28) marxdrive: Just what I was looking for, a great replacement for the original 'drag and drop zones' (mostly used on Firefox).

- (2019-05-28, v:1.44) Martine Kline: Open new search tabs in the background
Is it possible for new tabs to open in the background, so I can quickly search for many terms from the same page, and then navigate over to them once I am ready? - (2019-05-03, v:1.44) Diane: I'm sorry. I accidentally erased it...
1. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simple-drag-drop-search/aiifonoffdkfmmiadigmjhoameijkdbb 2. https://imgur.com/LNqmk3h 3. Like this plugin, select both background and foreground I hope it is possible. I'd like to be able to set up each site individually. If that is possible. I really appreciate the kind answer. - (2018-05-17, v:1.44) Joker: "Look in"
When the page is in the position "Look in" - it is not possible to change the search text, the search window does not open. - (2017-10-01, v:1.1) marxdrive: No longer working
Worked fine for a while, now when selecting text nothing happens. Also, when you go to the settings page there is nothing there.
