Shortcut to Search Highlighted Text with Default Search Engine
-
Hi everyone
Is there a kind of shortcut to search highlighted text using default search engine? Would be very useful. -
Yes. Use the context menu.
You can also drag it to the URL field and press Enter or Shift Enter to search in a new tab with the default search engine.
-
@pesala, I meant keyboard shortcut, some keys combination to use it in macro or gesture (is it even possible?)
-
@freewalkr AFAIK there is no command for "Search for.." that could be assigned to a keyboard shortcut or mouse gesture.
I moved your thread to the Feature Requests forum.

This is not a shortcut, but here it is two suggested quick solutions for search engines :
Mod: Edited for clarity
-
@freewalkr In the latest Stable and Snapshot builds there is now a command in Settings, Keyboard, Page, "Search with Selection."
There is no default shortcut for this, but you can assign whatever you wish. I assigned Ctrl+Shift+F, and you can assign a Mouse Gesture to the same command.
- Select some text on the page
- Execute the shortcut or gesture
- The selected text will be searched in a new tab with your default search engine or, if it is a URL, the URL will be opened in a new tab.
So I have tagged this Feature Request as Done.

@pesala Yeah, great thanks!
The next problem is when I press right mouse button, text becomes unselected. It would be cool if you found some solution to this too.
Thanks in advance. -
@freewalkr No problem here. Be careful where you right-click.

@pesala ><
Understood. Thx

there a context search app from chrome store with tons of search options but to be honest i doubt it'll work here - It seems like search is a no go area for the Vivaldi team
I'd already be happy if i could change the default duckduckgo wasteoftime option - privacy what is it go for when the search engine has **** -
I really liked the fact that Vivaldi had note taking built in and the color coded tabs. Opera with extra eye candy - I think all browsers using chrome engine are bound to some rules set by Google -
clearly how else could such a progressive browser end up being so constrained when it comes to search.K-meleon where are you ??
