Search your local calibre library using selected text/links.
Calibre Search Extension
It offers a context menu, keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Q) and toolbar button options. No more need for manual copy/paste!
In addition you can optionally configure replace expressions to be applied before executing the search to strip out words that would cause the calibre search to fail. For instance a web page containing some text like \"Title by Author (Year)\" could have the \"by\" and \"(...)\" parts stripped out so the calibre search becomes \"Title Author\".
