Давно такое искал для рутинного поиска картинок по выделенному тексту. Великолепное и очень удобное расширение. Простая настройка. Есть готовые примеры настроек под основные поисковики. Есть возможность сохранения и импорта настроек.

Funziona perfettamente ed è molto utile personalizzare i links di apertura, però lo trovo molto scomodo dover selezionare il testo per cercarlo dal menù contestuale. The ability to customize the opening links works fine, but I find it quite annoying to have to select the text in order to conduct a contextual menu search.
