I use Chrome and truly enjoy the ease of search the SearchO extension from Diigo allows. Is there a similar add-on available for Firefox? The ability to select a word or phrase, the right [control]-click for searching within any one of many search engines is sweet.

Here is the addon compatible to firefox 9.Restartless context search :https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/restartless-context-searchIt searches from the context menu within the available search englines.So if you want more options, use this addon also:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-to-search-bar(Still, Research word is the best for firefox, and somehow I am using it on firefox 9. try portable version.)

Research word :https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/research-wordWorks on older versions of firefox 3.6.Use portable firefox or epic browser to make it work.Or ask the developer to make it compatible with firefox 9.

Hello, I do not think there is add-on similar to SearchO for Firefox. If you are insterested, you could try the following workaround. It works on Firefox 9.0.1:-- download the
add to Search Bar
add on for firefox:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-to-search-bar/-- restart firefox-- navigate to SearchO site: http://www.searcho.com/-- on search bar of SearchO,
right click on mouse and click
-- on options that pop up, select
add to Search Bar
option-- click on ok-- now it is just a matter of setting searchO as your default search engine-- voila you can use searchO in firefoxLet me know how it goes.
