# 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.
|
|
|
|

* How to retrieve the set of search engines.
|
|
* How to search using a specific search engine.
