Summary

Analyze keywords

Search selected text from the context menu in multiple search engines.

Features:

Material style options page Change the order of the search engines or move them into groups with simple drag and drop. Each entry can be individually configured, it opens per default in a new tab, you can let it open a new incognito tab or use the current tab. This can also be used to launch desktop URIs (for example, Spotify). Disable temporarily not needed entries with the checkbox.
Import of search engines from the Chrome settings Search all your favorite sites directly from the context menu without adding them manually.
Fast and low resource consumption It does not run in the background and uses zero memory due to event pages.

User reviews

This extension has the same issue that others like it do, it doesn't URL encode the selected text so ampersands and other characters not allowed in URLs mess things up. The options page is buggy and jumps around (seriously) making it difficult to create menu items.
