Simple IMDb movie rating by selecting text.
IMDb Movie Rating Lookup is an extension to quickly lookup ratings of movies and TV-series on IMDb.
Simply select the text of the title you want to lookup and immediately see the rating as a badge on the extension logo. Go to the IMDb page by clicking on the icon.
--FEATURES--
* Select only a small portion of a movie title and lookup the IMDb rating immediately in the badge text
* -NEW- Right click movie description on Netflix when hovering the image to look up rating. Badge and context menu are updated correctly
* Search title/link on IMDb directly using the context menu when right clicking
* -NEW- Support for keyboard shortcuts
* Fast and minimalistic
--CHANGELOG--
-0.4.1-
* Improved search of TV series to also support S01 apart from S01E01
* Deactivated fallback search (search only selected text when intelligent title parsing fails) by default due to unreliable ratings
* Added options to activate the fallback search for users still wanting that
* Added option to open results in same tab

It does not work on my end
Redirects to imdb
does not work in vivaldi (chrome based). have not tested in chrome, but shouldn't matter. good idea though. one point to improvement: the rating available upon marking the text would imply the extension working overtime. why not activate it selectively?
This tool is amazing ! i have been a long long time waiting for this ! Thank you !
It's the best extension for Movies I have got... XOXO
The Idea of this extension is great. I would give it a 5 if the developer built on the idea a little bit. I would enhance this tool by having -instead of a simple rating- a mini popup bubble coming out with the movie poster, rating and move genre. A synopsis wouldn't hurt while your at it. The context menu option is also great. For this, I have the following ideas: - Giving an option to open a tab without automatically switching to it. Using ctrl key can give this option. - Copying the highlighted text to clipboard before when clicking the context menu. This can be an option from the extension options. - Giving the search result with text in IMDB search box Marcus Windmark, thanks of the great plugin. keep it up!
the "auto-rating" icon of the extension is not always working , but at least i can search directly from highlighted text. thank you dear developer :) .
спасибо!Все работает!и в opera и в chrome. thanks! Everything works! both in opera and in chrome.
I've had this extension for a few weeks now, and it works quite well. I'd say the toolbar-icon number is accurate about 95% of the time. Occasionally, I've found a (usually only slightly) different rating on the actual IMDb page, and while these discrepancies do turn out to be infrequent, I always feel the need to check a title's page for verification. (Fortunately, Mr. Windmark has made that only a click away!) Overall, I'm very glad to have this extension, and I use it all the time. One small suggestion: That IMDb page clicking the inactive toolbar icon opens has a box that says "Enter a word or phrase to search on", but there doesn't seem to be any way to actually enter text into it; of course, even if that box did work, the search box already built into the site's header renders it rather redundant. Why not have the inactive-icon click lead to IMDb's home page? It has a perfectly good search box in the header plus all kinds of other dynamic info.
I've used this extension for about a year, but I had to remove it because for some reason Google Search started to prompt captcha's for everyone that was using the same public IP address as I was. At first I didn't know this was caused by this extension but on my first day of my internship at a big company, everyone started to receive the captcha's, something which had never happened before. As soon as I removed the extension, I've never received a Google captcha again.
Works just fine!
It didn't work for couple days and now it's working again. Thanks, great upgrade.

Super ! i was waiting for something like this. Any chance the rating number could be a little bigger ? I find it hard to read.
Works perfect! And simple.
