As short cuts, I have added various search engine entries in my browser to get to a page having a patterned URL easily.

But this still does not solve the problem completely. While browsing, if I see some text that corresponds to one of the pages, I need to copy the text, open a new tab and then use my search entry to go to that page.

A couple of steps can be saved if I can directly right click and go to the search engine.

How can I do that? Do I need to create an extension for this or something simpler can help?

Current:

  1. copy text
  2. open new tab
  3. search engine keyword followed by tab
  4. paste text
  5. press return

Desired:

  1. select text
  2. right click and select search

    You can add context menu items via Chrome extensions – see the doc for more details.

    However, there’s no current way to remove core-Chrome context menu items; only ones created by your own extension. And from researching before, I also think there’s no way to get a user’s search engines – only hardcode the ones you want.
