Google contextual searching by alegator on 07-13-2006 at 10:45 PM

Long ago I used to have a program that did the following: If you selected text, either a single word or phrase within a webpage, and right click with the mouse, then you were presented with menu item that allowed you to use the Google Contextual Search Engine. Anyone knows if it's still around?

There's a Firefox extension that can do this I think....
I'll try to find it

Are you using Firefox?


EDIT: This OK? It's for Firefox....

Could it have been Google Toolbar? I don't use it, so I'm not sure.

Nope, it was a program tha when installed adds an extension to the right click menu that opens a google search of a highlighted text in a webpage.
