Search in... Extension

This Chrome extension enhances your browsing experience by allowing you to search selected text directly from the context menu. Whether you're browsing casually or working on a project, this tool makes it easy to quickly search in the web.

It includes by default some searches to popular sites, such Google or Reddit. But you can also create your own custom searches. Whether you frequently search on niche websites or need access to specialized resources, you can add them.

Currently, it comes with a developer focused preset, set with quick links to popular programming resources, such us StackOverflow or Github. If you want to add more, feel free to open an issue or a pull request in the following link: https://github.com/victor-lillo/search-in-chrome-extension/issues.

Additionally, the extension allows you to **reorder the search options**. This feature makes it perfect for developers, researchers, or anyone who frequently searches across multiple platforms.
