Use the right-click menu to search for selected text in different search engines

This extension can be used to search for selected text using the context menu. Different search engines can be added according to the user's wish to the right-click menu.
The search results are shown in a new tab which can either be a focussed tab or a background tab depending on the options set by the user. The location of the newly opened tab can also be set by the user to be either next to the current tab or the last tab.
The order of the search engines in the right-click menu can also be arranged. A list of 40 commonly used search engines has been added so that users can choose easily. If needed, the user can also add an option which has not been included.

You need at least Chrome version 6.0.472 to install and use this extension. If needed you can install from any channel you want here: http://goo.gl/4fHh

Known issues:
--------------------
1. The extension icon reverts back from the magnifying glass to default Chrome extension icon sometimes. Disabling and enabling the extension again should bring it back. This is perhaps an issue with chrome.contextMenus.removeAll() method.
2. Favicons for search engines cannot be displayed in context menu currently as the contextMenus API does not allow it.
3. Taking settings from omnibar search configuration is not possible.

Awesome! Just what I needed, and it works perfectly.
Would be neat to have the ability to group search engines under submenus, though.

とても便利でいつも使っています。一つ残念なのは日本のサイト「価格コム」をオプションで追加しているのですが、選択した文字列が文字化けを起こしてしまい検索することができません。日本のソフトでないので仕方ないのかもですが、この一点以外は満足してます。修正していただくと嬉しいなあ。。。
