PRO TIP: search for a link without visiting the web page by right-clicking on the link and searching from the context menu.

A handful of search modes are offered that serve different use cases. The search mode can be set independently for the context menu and the browser toolbar from the extension's options.

Search modes: • Tab: search for the web page opened in the active tab. This is the default search mode. • URL: search for a custom page URL.
