If you’re using firefox you probably have to change your default search engine.

This is a great facility – but for some reason when i right click a highlighted word I get ‘Search BBC ..’ I don’t want to search the BBC, I want to use google. Can anyone tell me how to get it back to search google as it used to?

Thanks

Stuart

[...] Sean Privitera kindly reminded me that searching Google on Firefox is easier than it appears. Ever been reading something on the web [...]

Jeff,

You have to actually highlight the word by dragging with the cursor, then right click.

Hey. I am a 2.0.0.16 user since many of my beloved add-ons don’t work in the new and improved Firefox 3.
I am not finding the “never knew this:” that you mention.

If I right click a word in FF 2.0.0.16 I don’t have a “Google Search Option” as you mention.
(Or an “add this page to delicious” -as you also mention.)

Is this set up through Google Toolbar or…?

Any enlightenment would be appreciated.
Thx
