Well there are many context sensitive search plugin available for Firefox, I won’t use most of them because my context menu is pretty long even after Menu Editor tweaks. So I’d use web search pro. The thing I like most about this plug in is that I can drag my selection a little bit, and a “drag & drop zone” will show up and I can just release my mouse, and Firefox will search my selection. And there are 16 zones all together so I can select if I want to search through google or the mozilla addon site.
However I found drag de go and conquer together could do a better job: “drag de go” is a folk and enhanced version of “super drag and go”. Needless to see this adds a lot of drag stuff. And one best thing is, it now support mouse gestures and can invoke conquer. So now with my current config, I can select some text, drag that to the left, and the conquer hot menu will show up and I can select which search engine I want to search my selection with. Though I’m a keyboard user, this mouse thing is really handy 
Here are 2 conquer plugins I just made. I also have them in the quick search bookmark:
- search the firefox addon
- search baidu for MP3 (Chinese)
usage: download the files and copy them to your firefox searchplugin directory, and…. enjoy
