OOPS! Ya better hurry! ;)

I ran across a multifunctional search tool for both Pale Moon and Firefox that I use every day. It's free, and expands one's browsing experience quite nicely. To use it merely highlight the word/words you want info on, then right-click the highlight. A box pops up, you put your mouse on the term 'search for' and a list of your available search/info selections pops up. Pick your tool and a new tab will open up automatically with your info at hand. *Note: I have both my browser and FR set to open links in new tabs. YMMV but it works irregardless.
Here are a few in my search bar:
Ixquick [search engine]
Wikipedia
Dictionary
Thesaurus
Wayback Machine
Mapquest
Mycroft Project
There are literally thousands of these to pick from, and they cover multitudes of subjects. Translators, search engines, maps, recipes, you name it, it's probably there.
There are but two steps to get this, so bear with me.
First, download and install the add-on called Context Search. Once that's done, if you don't have many programs in your Search bar, go to the Mycroft Project website, there are literally thousands waiting. Scroll down to browse the categories, or type the name of the program in the box at the upper right of the Mycroft homepage that says 'Site name/URL.' When you find one you wish to add to your search bar just click it's title and a dialog box will ask if you wish to add it to your search bar. Click yes and it's done, Repeat as necessary, I have like 18 of them. It beats opening a new tab, clicking a bookmark and typing! Way easier. Go dig around, wish they'd had this years back!
Yeah...I caught that too but decided not to comment, lest I be flamed as a Grammar Nazi...or worse...a Grammarian.
Hmmm. Opera already does that. Without any new extensions/addons.
Just FYI.
OOPS! Ya better hurry! ;)
I've accumulated 30+ Search Bar sites, quite convenient…
