Context Menu Search

When you spend most of your day reading online—whether it’s market research, academic papers, or troubleshooting guides—you eventually notice how often you copy a snippet of text, open a new tab, paste it into a search box, and hit Enter. It is such a common micro-task that you hardly register the wasted seconds—until you install Context Menu Search. With a single right-click the extension launches your query in the engine of your choice, shaving dozens of clicks every hour and hundreds over the course of a workweek. The core mechanic is delightfully simple: Highlight any text on a web page. Right-click to reveal a parent entry labelled “Search with ›”. Hover to see your personal list of search engines Click the engine, and a new tab opens with the query already populated. Out of the box the extension ships with a single entry—Google—so non-technical users can start immediately. Power users, however, can click Options and unleash a surprisingly rich editor: Unlimited engines. Add as many providers as you like by entering a display name and a URL template (https://example.com/search?q=%s). Drag-and-drop ordering. The sequence of rows determines the submenu order, letting you put your most-used engine under the cursor hotspot. JSON import/export. Copy your configuration as a JSON block, paste it into a different browser, or version-control it in a dotfile repo. Live preview. As soon as you hit Save, the service worker catches the storage change event and rebuilds the context menu, no reload required.
