SUMMARY: The "Highlight to Search (by Google)" extension to Google Chrome lets you search by highlighting text and clicking a pop-up magnifying glass.
Google Chrome users: when you see text on a web page that you would like to research further via Google, are you tired of copying the text and pasting it into the Address Bar? Or, even if you know that you can right-click selected text and choose "Search Google for", wouldn't it be nice to have Autocomplete features here so you can refine your search query?
The "Highlight to Search (by Google) extension offers an alternative way to search. After installation, all you need to do is highlight text on a webpage and a magnifying glass appears. Click it and a search box appears with AutoComplete features. Click on your term or a related one and a new tab appears with results of your search query from Google. It's that easy.
