Huso Amir (ID: 00000044f99ce550) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/23/2012 You can search in your liked websites like a piece of cake

Jeffrey Adik (ID: 000000ae55b3a39c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/05/2012 Enormous time saver! Highlight your search words and then hit a single key (custom set 10 keys to correspond to your search engines of choice), and the search will be instantly executed in a new tab. Not the easiest tool to describe. If you landed here, you will likely appreciate this gem... Five Stars!!
