This adds context-menu entries to the reviewer allowing users search the web based on highlighted text.
Based on the glutaminate add-on: Context Menu Search. Modifications have been made to the code, such that usage is focused for the reviewer and online searches.
To change the providers to search with, edit “SEARCH_PROVIDERS” within reviewer_contex_search.py. SEARCH_PROVIDERS = [ (“&Google”, [u”https://www.google.com/search?&q=%s”]), (“&Amboss”, [u”https://www.google.com/search?&q=site:amboss.com/us/knowledge/+%s”]), (“&Pubmed”, [u”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=%s”]), (“&UpToDate”, [u”https://www.uptodate.com/contents/search?search=%s”]) ]
Side Note: Make sure your search provider is properly url formatted or you’ll get an error.

-1 for making you edit the source code instead of providing an Anki-supported config file that can be opened by the app.

Thank you for updating this addon! my favorite part of the older one was the ability to search the anki browser. Is there a way to configure this addon to do that? or do you have any other suggestions?

Anyone have the link to insert for the wikipedia lookup? For some reason I can’t get it to work…
Edit: never mind, I figured it out…for anyone else who wants it: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=%s

Awesome.
To other users: Aware that you can’t use non-latin character when you customize .py file to change provider. Not a problem, but I surprised when I faced some blah blah pop-up when I modified py. file with some Hangul name of search providers and restarted Anki. Changed them into alphabet ,and working fine now.
Yeah this add-on literally saves my life.

Thank you very much! Found it easy enough to add a Google image search option as well. Here is the link to use for anyone who would like to do the same using the .py file: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=%s

Works perfect with 2.1 and opens in my chrome browser! Prefer this to the anki browser add on.
I changed amboss to google img using the url from the previous comment.
