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.
