Would you like to be able to highlight a word or a phrase on a web page and find out more about it? You can make this possible by adding search entries to the right click (context) menu.<\/p>\n

Recently, I\u2019ve posted articles telling you how to Add a Right Click Search Menu to Firefox<\/a> and Internet Explorer<\/a>. You might think that I have a real \u201csearch\u201d addiction. It\u2019s not an addiction, it\u2019s a real need that\u2019s based on the desire to save time. I spend large chunks of time searching the net for the things I want to learn and write about.<\/p>\n

Now I\u2019ll show you how to add a context search menu to Google\u2019s Chrome web browser. \"chrome\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1. You must be running version 4 of Chrome or higher.<\/p>\n

2. Go to the ChromeExtensions site and install Context Search<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"chrome-context-search-site\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. To add your own custom search sites (providers), open the Extensions manager by using the Wrench pull-down menu.<\/p>\n

\"chrome-extensions-wrench\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Click on the Options button for \u201cContext Search<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"chrome-extensions-options-button\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5. In the preferences, you can add\/remove and edit existing search providers. To add a new provider, click the \u201cAdd new<\/em>\u201d link.<\/p>\n

\"chrome-context-search-add-new\"<\/a><\/p>\n

6. Here you can see how I\u2019ve added my favorite search provider. Don\u2019t forget to use the \u201cSave\u201d link when you have everything entered. (read why I like Scroogle Search<\/a><\/em>)<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> How do I get URLs like the ones shown above? I go to a website (such as Twitter) and perform a search there, using an easy to identify keyword (such as TESTSEARCH). Then I find the keyword and replace it with %s.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nhttp:\/\/twitter.com\/#search?q=TESTSEARCH<\/em><\/p>\n

\nhttp:\/\/twitter.com\/#search?q=%s<\/em><\/p>\n

7. When you run across a word or phrase on a page, highlight it and you\u2019ll see a little triangle beside the highlighted text. Click on it and you\u2019ll see your search providers listed.<\/p>\n

8. I\u2019ve noticed that the little triangle doesn\u2019t appear on some web pages. When that happens, right click on the highlighted text and you\u2019ll see your customized search providers listed.<\/p>\n

\"chrome-context-search-shown\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That\u2019s all there is to it. Now you\u2019re ready to beat Chuck Norris<\/a> at searching. Oh, I forgot – Chuck Norris doesn\u2019t search, the results come to him.\u00a0 (bad joke)<\/em><\/p>\n
