It works, but does not allow adding, changing and rearranging of search engines anymore.

It is literally awesome. I always wanted extension that can search whenever I select text (i.e Song Name) and the pop-up shows up which shows the sites I selected in extension settings. And when I click, it'll search the selection text on those sites. This extension exactly lets me do that. Thanks
