Quickly search for highlighted text on IMDb via right-click
This simple extension adds an IMDb search for any text you highlight to the right-click menu.
If you see a name that you want to look up on IMDb, just highlight the name, right click, and select "Search IMDb for <Your text>" on the menu.
The search executes in a new tab.
The extension is tiny and takes very little memory. To keep it small, there are no options.
The extension "Right-Click Search IMDbPro" is available if you want to search IMDbPro (requires IMDbPro account). Install both if you want both search options.

- (2022-10-13, v:2.1) Pradip Shah: Missing from Context meny
Why does the "search imdb" kind of option does not appear in Vivaldi which is a Chromium based browser same as MS Edge and Google Chrome? - (2022-06-17, v:2.1) Leon Moor: Notifications permission?
Why is this extension suddenly requesting permission to display notifications? What function does that have? - (2021-04-30, v:1.0) Brian Paraszczak: Shortcut Key or Bulk Search Option
1) Is there a way to assign a shortcut combination once I highlight the desired text? For example, highlight "Batman" and click "Ctrl + M" to get the results? 2) Any chance for a bulk search option? I add a lot of movies at a time to my collection and searching one movie at a time takes a long time. A bulk search would be awesome. - (2021-02-18, v:1.0) George Barrowman: Torrents
Torrent filenames typically include dots instead of spaces eg Alice.Fades.Away.2021.1080p.WEBRip.x265-RARBG Can you make it the default, or an option, to convert dots to spaces before passing the text to IMDB as the dots often confuse IMDB's search. Thanks - (2020-08-07, v:1.0) Jerry Gardener: About right click IMDB search
Hi, does this extension work if I right click on a movie in my movie folder? The examples given only show highlighted text on a website. Thanks! - (2020-08-04, v:1.0) Jerry Gardener: Right click IMDB search
Hi, Does this work if I right click on a movie that is listed in my movie folder or can you only use it when browsing the web? - (2020-06-01, v:1.0) Marcel M: Encode '&' in search string to %26 etc
Just a quick fix, so you can also search for "Fast & Furious" etc. in Line "url : "http://www.imdb.com/find?=all&q="+encodeURIComponent(search_target)," produces "Fast%20%26%20Furious" complete function: function doSearch (search_target, tab) { chrome.tabs.create( { url : "http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q="+encodeURIComponent(search_target), selected : true, index : tab.index + 1 } ); } - (2018-03-19, v:1.0) kaser: https
Please add https instead of http - (2017-07-04, v:1.0) Permissions
Hi, I'd like to add this extension but when I go to install it a message says it can: "Read and change all your data on the websites that you visit" Does this mean it will read passwords? - (2015-07-30, v:1.0) V Ger: tabs
can you make an option to NOT open the new tab
