Is There a "Copy (Text) and Search on Firefox" From Windows? I literally have to copy text, file names and program names from Windows and do do searches on them. Is there a way I can select file names and right Click Search Using Firefox via Windows?

You could consider using something like AutoHotkey ("AHK") or other system level macro program.

Let's assume your macro program can grab the current selection when you press a hotkey, or that it can use whatever is on the clipboard, and feed it to a command line such as:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -search "your text"

No idea whether it can grab the name of a selected file, but I think it's worth a look because the AHK community is very creative.

I don't fully understand your question. Can you give an example?

If the content is in a file that you can open in a Firefox tab then you can select text and use the right-click context menu to do a search with the default search engine.

If you have specific data on the clipboard then you can possibly use the search bar and paste the content in that toolbar.

Wow that was supper Helpful, Yes exactly what I was looking for. Thank Jscher . I have little Program for Windows "CopyFilenames" which I been using for years but wonder why there wasn't a Search Browser with that.
