Default Easy Google searches

for easy searches-

I haven't tried this with my netscape or Win IE browsers - but with firefox by mozilla -- I can just highlight the words or topic I want to search and then right click-
a list of options comes up and one is to do a Google search - it will open a new tab and do the search, the results will show in that new tab.

Part of it might also be that Google is my home page on my browser , so maybe both of those things have to match for the search to work this way - but it makes it so easy to google things.

**

If you try the highlight and right click on your set up and see if that option is there too- I'd like to know.

I use Firefox (but it isn't my home page) on & off with AOL (my default).
My Firefox has the same right click function as you describe,
altho I've never had occasion to use it. (Habit, mostly)
