[FR]: Site search from context menu

[HalvorNygaard]

Description

Use configured site search from the context menu when text is selected

Who's implementing?

• I'm willing to implement this feature myself

The problem

When there is something on a website that you want to use in a search bar, now you need to select it with the mouse, then go:

ctrl + c -> ctrl + l -> shortcut -> tab -> ctrl +v -> enter

My thinking is if you already moved your hand over to the mouse to select a sentence/word/phrase its a lot easier to just hit right click and then click the "Search site-search-name for 'search-string'" option. Like the one already done for the default search engine. Duck duck go in my case here.

Possible solutions

Using the site search system already in place, make it possible to configure a site search to appear in the context menu.

Just my opinion, but I think one of the goals of Helium is to be simple with no bloat. There are plenty of context menu search extensions in the Chrome Web Store.
