Looks like it does the job. It does default to yahoo but can be easily changed if you know how to use the built in pin and right click to edit with chrome extensions. My issue comes with it automatically running everything through "https://q.eadblock.com/" which seems super sketchy. I wouldn't trust this with my data...

Recently, the built-in search in Chrome began to work incorrectly (when searching from the context menu, it opens the results in the same tab and not in a new one as before). so this app is very helpful
