## Description

This extension is useful, for example, if you want a traditional search engine (e.g., Google) for general searches, and an online dictionary or Wikipedia as a second search engine.

<ol><li>Select the text on a web page that you want to search for.</li><li>Right-click to open the context menu.</li><li>Click <strong>2nd Search Engine</strong>, or hit the keyboard shortcut <strong>2</strong>.</li></ol>
The first time you use the extension, the options page opens automatically, where you can easily set up a second search engine. The options page can also be opened from the browser's add-ons manager.
