Summary
Analyze keywords

It's simple: select some text, right-click, and search on your preferred search engines.

Configuring your search engines is very easy: There are multiple pre-configured search engines to pick from (like Amazon, BBC, CNN, etc.), plus you can add any other you might like. To add new search engines, follow instructions in the Help section of the Options page.

Once a new search engine is configured, it will show up the next time you select some text in your browser, right-click it, and go to the Simple = Select + Search menu option.

It's my first public extension. I hope you like it.

Used this for years. The recent updates (apparently necessary due to Chrome) pretty much borked my old configuration, and then populated the search items with defaults. Good extension but I found a similar extension that is simpler and fulfills the same goal.

Version 2.1 fixed the problem below. Version 2.0.5 still has the same problem I described below: following the instructions in the migration issues tab does not work. It is impossible to restore my previous configuration. Version 2.0.4 completely broke my ability to use my configured searches. Following the instructions in the migration issues tab did not help. Copying my old configuration, pasting it into the import box, saving it, it still uses the default configuration.

Geçmişte harika çalışıyordu ancak son güncellemelerle tam bir felakete dönüştü. 2.0.2 güncellemesiyle arama motorlarını ekleyemiyoruz." Veri al" butonu yok olmuş. Arama motorlarım güncelleme sonucunda tamamen silinmiş. Durduk yerde sapıtıyor. yüklenen arama motorlarını siliyor. Ona benzer vede ondan üstün olan ve düzgün çalışan başka eklenti, https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/context-menu-search/ocpcmghnefmdhljkoiapafejjohldoga geçiş yaptım. Yükleyin keyif alacaksınız.
