I just discovered a really cool feature of Firefox 2 - I call it Click2Search. (Firefox should take my idea as they just call it “Searching the Web for Words Selected in a Web Page” … BORING!)

Anyway, from the documentation …

Firefox allows you to search the web for words you select within web page:

1. Select (highlight) any words in a web page.
2. Right-click and choose Search [Search Engine] for “[your selected words]” from the popup menu.

Firefox opens a new tab and uses the currently selected Search Engine to search for your selected words.

Here is a screen shot. (I already performed the action once so you can see the new tab in the browser. Google is my chosen search engine.)
