I started using one called Context Search[0] which let me set custom URLs to be searched on right-click. I needed something to search selected text on an intranet php search page, seems to work okay so far.

    I just read up a bit. What a weird development. I normally resort to user scripts and bookmarklets to transport the search query between pages. Didn't know things got this bad.

    Clicking on an open search js link[0] also doesn't seem to work anymore.

    I've added auto discovery[1] here which seems to work. FrogFind should add this bloat to their pages :)
