Hmm look at this

By Ben Goodger no less. Is my eyes playing tricks or is this extension not updated to 0.9 yet?

Anyone have any problems or is it working fine for you?
Jesse has incorporated some of these things into the browser, but I doubt I'll be releasing any updates until closer to 1.0 anyway, since I'm not interested in updating extensions for nightly builds all the time. It'll hopefully be trivial to make any necessary changes, as I should be removing unneeded code instead of adding to it.

Since the "stock" browser will be doing both searching and highlighting, maybe you could combine what's left into one addon instead.
I was going to ask you to do the highlight so it goes on to the next page when going to page 2, 3, etc. which the "stock" one now does. (Yay!)
Thanks for doing these, Cusser.

Sasquatch, this extension does one simple job, and I intend to keep it that way. All this extension will ever do is add the search engines to the context menu.

I have been trying to find something similar to this for a while. I want to have the ability to select a text link that is not in <a> tags and press one mouse click to open it in a new tab somehow. Something similar to how the select text > right click on selected text > click on search web for ... is currently, except just open the link thats selected.
Your extension is the closest thing i've found so far, and it might be very simple to do or adapt into your extension.
Thanks for any help, and sorry for threadjacking

Not really similar to this extension at all, in my opinion, and definitely should have been asked in a separate thread;
that's of course after you'd searched and not found an answer.
Your question has already been asked and answered in this thread:
