Firefox addon for searching with different search engines

Firefox addon for searching with different search engines

I want to be able to right click on the selected text and, instead of Search Google for [whatever is selected], I want to have a submenu that allows me to choose the search engine I want. The list of search engines has to be the exact list of search engines I have. I know there is such an add-on, because I've used something like this in the past, only I can't remember its name.

You can also perform searches using keywords in the url address bar.

SearchWith (no longer avaliable)

SearchWith extension allows you to
search selected with various search
services. It adds a ""Search With"" sub
menu on the context menu (right-click

search the highlighted text.

SmartSearch (no longer avaliable)

Right-click on a word or group of

keyword."
