Firefox plugin for Google to select text and search for the selected text?

[IHateMyJob2004]

Is there any plug in for Firefox that makes it easy to select text in a web page and search Google for that text?

I know I can drag text to the Google search shortcut in the upper right, but is there any other ways to do this?

Oh god, it's already there in the right click menu. Must be new to the latest firefox or sum'n.

Mine is set to search dictionary.com when i right-click selected text, how do you make it search google?

nvm, I just figured it out.

Move the search engine you want to use to the top of the list of your search toolbar using the manage menu, and your right-click search menu will become whatever search engine you chose.

You could also use dragging extensions like this one

You highlight the text you want to search then click and drag it a little big and it'll perform a search in a new tab.

The KallOut (now SearchMenu) addon is exactly what you describe, adds inline google/translate/imdb/dictionary/wikipedia/youtube/goto url etc, and doesn't get in the way.
