The author.."harytfw" has a contact/support email link on the Addons page.
Why not ask him/her?

It does work.
Though may need to understand what you have to do to make it work.

Open its' options.
Change the, Direction Control:, to 'Only 1 Directions'

Select a text or image or... & drag up.
That should perform some action, like a search on the selected text, in a new tab to the right.


(After that, I'm kind of lost, but suppose if I plugged along, I'd get a better gist of things.)
