Extension summary

Analyze keywords

You can search for desired keywords in Wikipedia using the multi-browser extension WikiSearch. This add-on is very simple to use. Simply choose "Search in Wikipedia item" from the context menu when you have a word or sentence selected. It will open a new tab with a Wikipedia page already loaded. Please be aware that if your keyword (right-clicked text selection) has its own Wikipedia page, clicking the context-menu item will open that page in a new tab. But once you click on the context-menu item, the Wikipedia search page (a page with multiple matched items) will open if your keyword does not match a specific page.
