How to get more search engines in Chrome right click?

Right now, if I select something and do a right click, the only search option I see is

Search Google for 'whatever I selected'

For example:

alt text

How do I add more search engines to this list?

Checkout Vivaldi - right click gives you 'Search with' and all your SEs are displayed – killjoy – 2018-08-17T23:44:48.897

You can't add additional search engines, but you can change which search engine it uses. Setting the default search to Yahoo would then allow you to search Yahoo for the selected text. I think being able to add additional search engines to this list would be a great idea though, so I have added it as a feature request.

The only alternatives would be to use a bookmarklet like the one created for Wikipedia or to use a Google Chrome Extension, however both of these options would require clicking on a link or button instead of right clicking on the text.

I need to add. Most of the times I am using Google, but sometimes I need some others. Are you sure it is not possible? – Lazer – 2010-05-08T20:28:59.550

As far as I know without changing the source code and recompiling the application it is not possible. I think it is a great idea though, and have added it as a feature request: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=43680

You can star the issue to track the progress of the request.
