When I drag-and-drop some selected text and put in one site's own search box because I want to use his search engine ,instead I get a new-generated tab with the result that I get to search with my default search engine, but I really don't want that to happen. I noticed that once I select some text and move the mouse, wherever I release the mouse, the search tab always generates. That's cool, but the first situation is not. So could anyone can help me with it, I will be much grateful. Thanks.

These are what really happened to me in case I haven't explained it well.

Maybe use copy and paste if dragging isn't working

Yes, that's what I do now. But I really miss the convenience when I just had to darg. Anyway, thanks for watch my problem.
