General

The plugin adds a context menu option after you select text on a tab (also hotkey is possible). When you use that option, a system defualt web browser will open and search with a given text. If you use split tabs, it will open as many browser tabs as terminal tabs with selected text.

There is also a new tab in Tabby's settings where you can specify your defualt internet search engine using a dropdown list.
