I used to be able to right click some highlighted text on a web page and be given the option to search for the text on google, a handy tool. Now for some reason its gone and im left with a similar option which says search secure search and i end up with it doing a yahoo search instead. I havent changed anything recently, not sure if it was an add on i downloaded or not. Please help!

I think that it has something to do with your toolbar, the search engine in your toolbar is normally also your right click search engine, maybe you installed the yahoo toolbar accidentally. However, I do have an alternative, it is named clickto, you can see here what it does: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O541tRimLMg&feature=player_embedded
