About this extension
Search from the context menu! Right click on some selected text, a link text, or an image, and perform a search for it on the engines of your choice (link text and image searches require Firefox 60 or later). Manage your search engines easily with the native Firefox bookmarks manager.

How to use
• Right click some selected text, a link, or an image on a web page.
• Select the preferred search engine under "Search for...".

Manage your search engines
• Make a folder anywhere in your bookmarks called "Searches" (you only need to do this once).
• Add search engines by right clicking the search field on any website. In the context menu choose "Add a Keyword for this Search...", enter a keyword and click "Save" (make sure to save them in "Searches").

Known issues:
• Due to current limitations in the WebExtension API only forms with GET method is supported.
• For security reasons Mozilla does not allow certain extension scripts to be run on addons.mozilla.org and some other Mozilla sites as well as PDFs and about: pages. While text selection will work, image search and link text search will not.
