User reviews
This extension is the best in class.
I personally only use the context menu search option (right click highlighted word), but there are two other options you can enable or disable.
You can manually add additional search engines, or add them from a giant database...

Very useful once set up properly, unfortunately have hit a snag after afew years of use... After a recent Edge update I can no longer see the rightclick Search menu, seems to only have affected one of my systems, my other system with the latest Edge is working like normal, have tried removing and adding the extension again but no luck, any ideas on how to reinstate? The popup menu via keyb and mouse combo does work so the extension is active
