Right click search options

Unread post by fjrman » 2015-04-03, 13:55

On the Wall Street Journal site I've noticed that you can view their payment required articles if you highlight the article title and then search for the article using Google. If you search using Duck Duck, etc. it doesn't appear to work -- only Google search.

I like to use Duck Duck as my primary search engine but I'd like to have Google in my hip pocket for this particular pay article search.

I'd like to highlight the article name, use the mouse right click and have the option of searching using Google and other engines.

The right click search is easy to use for highlighted text. Give us the option of choosing search engines here.

The search engine used for context searches (which works fine with DDG, by the way) is linked to the search engine you have selected in the search bar.

Try

or
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... xt-search/
Personally I use the latter in combination with Organize Search Engines and Keyword Search for a really comfortable search experience.
