Use the right-click menu to search for selected text in different search engines

Image from store Context Menu Search
Description from store This extension can be used to search for selected text using the context menu. Different search engines can be added according to the user's wish to the right-click menu. The search results are shown in a new tab which can either be a focussed tab or a background tab depending on the options set by the user. The location of the newly opened tab can also be set by the user to be either next to the current tab or the last tab. The order of the search engines in the right-click menu can also be arranged. A list of 40 commonly used search engines has been added so that users can choose easily. If needed, the user can also add an option which has not been included. You need at least Chrome version 88 to install and use this extension. If you like the extension, please don't forget to rate it 5-star (preferably!). In case of any issues/suggestions, leave a comment at the support and FAQ link provided below. Known issues: -------------------- 1. Sometimes, the extension icon reverts back from the magnifying glass to default Chrome extension icon. Disabling and enabling the extension again should bring it back.

I am trying to make the sub menu to be. Other options の Export/Import search options にテキストで保存しておいたものを張り付けて、Saveで他のPCでも復元できます。 You can paste the text you saved into Export/Import search options under Other options, then click Save to restore it on another PC. 価格コムはY Hさんの方法を参考に文字化け回避は出来ましたが他のサイトでは通用しないようです
  • (2024-06-06) Tony Nguyen: Please extend the character limit of the URL field. I have a very long one with many parameters but it's truncated in the URL field of this extension. Thanks! Update: Also, please make it possible to include more than one "%s" or "TESTSEARCH" in the URL. Currently, only the first one is expanded.
  • (2024-02-11) Adam Gagne: I love this extenson but it keeps forgetting my saved search engines. Ive had to set it up 4 or 5 times
  • (2023-11-07) Ming Su: very useful tool! it can save time. it's good .
  • (2023-11-02) Yau: It reset all my settings, nice. 0/10
  • (2023-10-17) Vivĕre est cogitāre: Огромное спасибо за это чудесное и невероятно полезное, упрощающее жизнь расширение. Всё в нём очень нравится и работает без проблем. Пожелание: если можно, добавьте, пожалуйста, горячие клавиши/shortcuts для быстрого вызова контекстного меню со всем списком поисковых машин. Например: я выделяю какое-нибудь слово или предложение, нажимаю на shortcut и мышкой (или стрелками вниз/вверх и клавишей Enter) выбираю, на каком сайте следует выделенное слово найти. Спасибо!!!
  • (2023-09-22) masapi: Please support in-page search.
  • (2023-09-15) Don't do it: It is useful, but it would be a good idea to have an option that recognizes the search engines added to the browser. I had about 20 in Chrome and I was forced to transfer one by one (name and link), it was tedious.
  • (2023-09-10) Josh Wilson: Sooooo handy, just wish there was a dark mode for the settings page
  • (2023-07-13) John Pandes: Exactly what I was lookiing for! As a recruiter I am always looking for a way to quickly search for people on linkedin. This extension makes it so simple.
  • (2023-06-17) Twy: Це чудове розширення! Я б вам буквально платив, якщо б ви могли також додали можливість налаштувати гарячі клавіші для швидшого доступу до кожного доданого сайту.
  • (2023-06-16) Ivan Hrytsai: Чудовий інструмент! Через нову фічу ранньої версії Гугл Хрому не міг нормально відкривати пошук по виділеному слову в іншій вкладинці, лише в боковій панелі.
  • (2023-06-16) Mark Palmos: I wanted it for one thing, and it does that perfectly, thanks!
  • (2023-05-30) This is a nice extension, but there's just one annoying little thing. In Firefox, you can right click on a hyperlink and there will be an option to search for the hyperlink title in the context menu. This extension adds *similar* functionality, but it still requires you to highlight the text yourself. I like being able to just right click, hit the search option, and go. Is that not possible in Chrome?
  • (2023-03-25) Luisa Valdes: Me encantó, es muy útil y configurable. Solo aparece al dar clic derecho sobre un texto, así que no te llena la pantalla del buscador de íconos. Excelente!!
  • (2023-03-07) Николай Виноградов: Отличное расширение! Значительно ускоряет поиск по различным сайтам.
  • (2023-02-25) Rhonda Lea Fries: Google continues to make Chrome hard to use. Google Lens and the new sidebar make me miserable every time I forget what Google has done. This extension solves the problem, and search now works for me again. Better yet, I can search other sites more easily too.
  • (2022-10-11) Brett Schaal: I'm having trouble getting the highlted text to transfer over to added search engines for example Salesforce
  • (2022-09-04) Matin S: loved it
  • (2022-08-26) Irene Soisson: One of the best extensions out there! Major time saver
  • (2022-08-21) P GS: seems good!
  • (2022-08-12) Ross Tallo: I had it set up for youtube music searches and it worked a treat but has stopped in the past few months. Any ideas anyone?
  • (2022-07-28) NOUM: Doesn't work if you search a term with a "&" in it (Youtube), the phrase gets cut because he forgot to url encode that character
  • (2022-07-01) Piotr Ka: Very usefull tool. Only one thing missing - ability to sync settings between computers.
  • (2022-05-14) Максим М: Отличное расширение 👍 Не хватает только возможности, при желании, ставить иконку поисковой системы вместо стандартной. С этой функцией будет идеально.
  • (2022-04-22) Samurai D: 离完美还差一点：菜单图标
  • (2022-03-27) Mateus Auri (Pereira Neves): Awesome! Just what I needed, and it works perfectly. Would be neat to have the ability to group search engines under submenus, though.
  • (2022-03-23) Павел Павел: SUPER!
  • (2022-03-20) ぴょんた: とても便利でいつも使っています。一つ残念なのは日本のサイト「価格コム」をオプションで追加しているのですが、選択した文字列が文字化けを起こしてしまい検索することができません。日本のソフトでないので仕方ないのかもですが、この一点以外は満足してます。修正していただくと嬉しいなあ。。。
  • (2022-03-14) Lộc: doesn't work with strings containing &
  • (2022-03-09) Tony LaMere: I use this nearly every day and it's irreplaceable. I'm not sure if it's possible, but I'd love to see keyboard shortcut (or hotkey) options added for even further efficiency.
  • (2022-02-02) Jay Peek: Site corrupted. Developer AWOL.
  • (2022-01-28) Евгений Анатольевич Стригунов: Can you add user hotkeys for each search system?
  • (2022-01-25) Mr. Eagle: Not working anymore.
  • (2021-12-12) 野良: 日本語で検索すると文字化けするところがあります そこでは日本語で検索することができますが これを通すと化けます
  • (2021-10-13) Александр Поляков: 1 проблема – часто после аварийного завершения браузера все настройки обнуляются...Искал альтернативу этому расширению... но, похоже, его нет.

  • (2021-07-23) Eric Mutta: Great extension, very handy for creating custom searches (e.g. using a number on a page to get the exchange rate for a particular pair of currencies). Simply works, no fuss. Which is how it should be!
  • (2021-07-13) Gary Oikawa: Love this extension! Works great! Easy to add and remove search engines.
  • (2021-06-11) Сергей Панфилов: Отличное решение упрощающее работу, использую в CRM для быстрого поиска по сделкам
  • (2021-05-08) Claudi H: Just what I've been looking for - needed facebook search. Has to change the link because the one offered in the extention doesn't work anymore but that was done within a second and now it works and makes my workflow easier.
  • (2021-04-28) stefano elidori: absolutely perfect. and can be better almost, including support to mailto: commands. for example selecting text like an emails and ask to send email (in case the is a correct link to emails).
  • (2021-03-01) gdn gdn: useful extension! the following functions would be great: 1. save settings in google account or export-function 2. custom menu label in context menu instead of "context menu search" thanks!
  • (2021-02-25) Oliver Lu: Have used some kind of extension like this in browsers for 15-20 years and this one used to work but now seems to be dead...can no longer customize the search engines (still offering me *Bing* as a choice)...webpage seems gone so if anyone can recommend an up-to-date replacement please do so.
  • (2021-02-24) eyes wide open: FIVE STARS - just what I was looking for - configuration is super simple and easy - an extremely well conceived and executed extension. A bonus for me, too, is being able to create custom display names for contextual search items. Bravo!
  • (2021-02-09) João Serra: This is awesome, except doesn't seem to work with strings that use & its a small detail that bit annoying
  • (2021-02-08) Ray Cornwall: No longer supported, but still does what I need it to do. Would love to see it picked up by a new developer, but grateful it's still a useful extension.
  • (2021-02-01) Louis Waweru: Important feature missing from all browsers.
