Right-click search: select text, search any site.

The fastest path from a phrase on the page you're reading to a search for it. No address-bar trips, no copy-paste, no new-tab juggling — your selection becomes the query.

How it works

1. 01Highlight the text you want to search — a name, a phrase, an error message, a product, a quote.
2. 02Right-click. The browser's context menu opens, and Simple = Select + Search adds its own submenu of search engines.
3. 03Pick the engine you want — or pick "Search everywhere" to send the selection to every engine in the current set at once.
4. 04Results open in new tabs. Your original page stays open in the background.

Why right-click search

The browser's address bar is one place to search the web, but most search workflows aren't one search at a time on a single engine. People reading a paper want to compare results across Wikipedia and Scholar; people debugging want Stack Overflow and the docs and GitHub; shoppers want Amazon and the maker's own site and a review on YouTube. The context menu turns any selected text into the start of all of those searches at once.

It also makes whatever site you're reading the launchpad. The text you've already focused on is the query — no retyping, no transcription errors with technical terms, no losing your place.

What sites can you search from the right-click menu?

The extension ships with a catalog of popular engines you can add in one click — Google, DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, YouTube, Reddit, GitHub, Stack Overflow, Amazon, IMDB, ChatGPT, and dozens more. You can also add any site with a search box as a custom engine in under a minute.

Where it works

On any web page where you can select text. The right-click search menu works the same way across Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, and on any Chromium-based browser that can install Chrome Web Store extensions.
