Graeme Donaldson (ID: 00000061fdaf2fe4) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/15/2022 It doesn't seem to work with modern versions of Chrome, even when following the instructions on how to fix the regex.

Rune Hansen Duus (ID: 0000004a977fa0b3) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/31/2019 Sadly does not work anymore. Using v0.0.6 and tried the "auto setup" on the options page multiple times.

Maheśvara Ishaya (ID: 00000091c3786619) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/28/2018 Works flawlessly (after setup). Go into the "Options" menu, highlight the text in the box, right click and perform the Google search. That's it!

Luke Formosa (ID: 0000002e363d3197) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/31/2017 Worked perfectly. I just had to right-click the option in the top right of the screen, go to the options page and follow the instructions there to get it to work.
