SearchWith extension allows you to search selected with various search services. It adds a "Search With" sub menu on the context menu with a configurable list of search services that can be used to search the highlighted text.
SearchWith encourages a simple context sub-menu by allowing one search engine per search service.

Usage

The Address Bar option basically pastes the selection on the address bar. If it is a url, the browser will open it otherwise for Flock and Firefox, the first Google search hit will be opened (Feeling lucky).

All Services searches all enabled services each in its own tab.

Hold down SHIFT key while clicking on each of the options to edit the selected text.

Manage Services is a convenient way of accessing SearchWith's options dialog. You can use it to:

• add/edit/remove/disable services and engines.    
• import new plugins from the Search Bar (Firefox and Flock)
• restore default settings

When installed in a browser, SearchWith attempts to adapt to the browser by:

• using the default web service engine where available
• importing search bar (Mycroft) plugins (thanks to ConQuery)
• using the appropriate sourceid argument (mozilla/flock-search).

When used in Thunderbird, the default browser is used.
