Firefox Add-on ContextSearch

Firefox extension ContextSearch provides customizable select-rightClick searches.

You select a piece of text on a page, right click, and choose the search engine you want to use. The very basic functionality is available in many browsers at least for the default search engine, but ContextSearch allows you to add additional search engines to this. Some use cases:

• add your local library catalog to see if a book is available for loan, rather than being launched to amazon with a generic search
  • search string I NEED TO ADD THIS FOR BOTH OVERDRIVE AND PAPER

• go straight to google maps for an address search
  • search string https://maps.google.com/?q=

• go straight to google translate to see the translation of the selected foreign word
  • search string https://translate.google.com/?sl=da#auto/en/

• go straight to wikipedia for a search that would otherwise be polluted with sales spam
  • search string https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=

• search for the word on your own mediawiki
  • search string https://<your wiki's URL>/index.php?search=
