# menu-search

A demo of the [search API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/search/).

## What it does

This add-on retrieves the list of installed search engines, and adds a context menu item for each one, displayed in the "selection" context.

Each context menu item searches for the selected text using the corresponding search engine.

This enables a user to:
* select some text to search for
* activate the context menu
* choose which search engine to use for the search.
