Dulan Sudasinghe (ID: 0000003bd4bcef94) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/21/2013 Awesome!! Finally I don't have to right-click, get the menu and search. And if right-click's are disabled.. WOE!!. Good concept just select the word and search or just double-click & search. What's more it opens up in a popup. and you don't have to go through tabs. At last somebody thought of it. Your are my HERO!!1..
