      Hi, I'd find quite convenient to have this feature:

      When you select some text the search popup appears with two options: "search" and "copy", and I love this feature.
      In case the selected text was an url but not a link (I mean it's something like www.example.com but without the <a> html tag), it would be nice to have also a "go to" option in the popup.

      If you right-click your selection you get the "go to the address" option, so basically the code is already there.
      I don't know if it could be a 3rd option or maybe replace the "search" option.

      Thank you for considering this.

      Federico

        The popup could have a bit more features. But I guess it must not get too crowdy. I'm not sure but it perhaps seems that it's gone a bit smaller due to upcoming unit converter and share...

        For me "go to address" (in new tab) popup would be much more useful than conversion or share I think. Hmmm.

                It is better to have option to show context menu on select.
                Search popup is subset of context menu, so it has no extensible.

                  I've devised a way to recreate Chrome's "Go to %url" ...

                  • Install "Install Chrome Extensions" ... a valuable Opera Addon

                  • Install "Custom Right-Click Menu" from the Chrome Store

                  • Open the Options for Custom Right-Click Menu

                  • In the Editing the CRM section, select Selection

                  • Scroll down to Commonly Used Search Engines, and add one

                  • It adds that search engine in the Editing the CRM section. Click on it, not on its gear, to edit it.

                  • Change the name to "Go to %s"

                  • Change the code to

                    var query;
                    var url = "%s";
                    if (crmAPI.getSelection()) {
                    query = crmAPI.getSelection();
                    } else {
                    query = window.prompt('Please select some text');
                    }
                    if (query) {
                    window.open(url.replace(/%s/g,query), '_blank');
                    }
