Google-chrome – add right-click options in Google Chrome

google-chromeright click

In Google Chrome, if I select a piece of text and right click on it, I get the option to:

'Search Google for [text]'

I find this extremely useful but I'd also like to be able to add my own options.

For example, I'd like to add the ability to search amazon.co.uk using the selected text or go straight to Google maps using the selected text (i.e. an address or postcode) and so on.

I can sort of add this functionality using PhraseExpress but would rather be able to do it straight from Chrome – is it possible?

Here's an extension that uses the Context Menus API to add options to the right click menu for selected text and lets you define your own custom searches.

Try http://maps.google.com/maps?q=TESTSEARCH for Google Maps and http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=TESTSEARCH for Amazon.co.uk.
