Right Click Search for Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge is getting better, but it lacks context searching (searching selected text). I developped this extension to fix this issue, it supports actually 4 providers: Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing and WikiPedia. You can either let them all active, and choose the one you want when searching, or setting one as default provider.

Installation:

Publishing extensions to the Store is still restricted, I submited a request, and I'm waiting the response. In the meantime, you can use the extension by downloading the appx package and the certificate from here, and then sideloading it by following these steps:

1- Enabling Sideloaded apps: Go to Settings>Update And Security>For Developers, and then select 'Sideload apps'

sidload

2- Install the certificate to the Trusted People store:
 a- open the certificate, then click on 'Install Certificate'.
 b- Select 'Local Machine' in Store Location and click Next.
 c- Select 'Place certificates in the following store'.
 d- Click on Browse and select 'Trusted People'.
 e- Click on Next then Finish to complete the process.

3- Install the Extension by running the following command in Powershell as Administrator:

  Add-AppxPackage   Path-to-Appx\Right-Click-Search.appx
  
 You can also double click the package to install it if you have [App Installer](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/app-installer/9nblggh4nns1) application installed.
