Swift Selection Search (SSS) is an add-on for quickly searching for selected text using your favorite search engines.
Usage
After selecting some words on a page, a small popup box will appear with multiple search engines. Press one and you'll search for the selected text using that engine! Google, YouTube, Maps, Amazon... you name it.
If you prefer the right-click menu, SSS has also got you covered with context search. Or you can disable the popup itself and leave only the context menu. Your choice. :)
Personalization
SSS is very configurable. Open your installed add-ons and access the "Swift Selection Search" options page to see all the settings. Remember to follow the short instructions at the top!
You can add new search engines for the popup and context search, change the appearance of the icons, what happens when you click them, when/where the popup appears, whether to auto copy text on selection, etc.
Contacts
If you find a problem, please read the "Troubleshooting" part of the "Instructions" section (in the SSS options page). If the problem isn't covered there (or if you have a suggestion), you can report it to the issues page:

For questions, please contact me at daniel.rb.lobo+sss@gmail.com ("+sss" is really part of the address).
SSS is an open source and free-time project made by Daniel Lobo (that's me) and with the collaboration of awesome people on my GitHub. ;)

ABOUT PERMISSIONS:
SSS requires permission to "Access your data for all websites", but this is simply to fix a problem that caused the popup to not work in pages that use frames.
It also needs permission to read/write downloads to be able to import/export your settings in the options page if you wish.
Rest assured that SSS does not otherwise read or modify your files, does not care about what sites you use, and does not send your data anywhere. (Well, if you ask it, it can backup settings to Firefox Sync!)
