    In Chrome, it you drag it to the tabs or address bar it opens it, if your drag it to the bookmarks bar it creates a new bookmark.

    In Chrome it's way easier. Just select the text and right click it. If it's a link you can open it (opens in a new tab) or if it's just a word you can search for that word.

      I use that all the time - but this selects the site and does a search there, rather than a "generic" Google.

        Go to the address / search bar. Start typing "CodeProject.com" As soon as it brings the site name up for you, press TAB. Type in something to search for, and it uses CP to search the articles...nice!

              This is a really really old feature, from the earliest versions of Chrome, it works for all sorts of sites which have integrated search, such as Wikipedia, CodeProject, even Facebook! It's one of the reasons I like this browser so much :)

                It's the result of Code Project having Open Search enabled on the site. Chrome implements this feature based on the site owner adding it. BTW, it also works in any browser that supports Open Search, like IE7+ and FF2+. You can see the XML file required to set it up here: http://www.codeproject.com/info/OpenSearch.xml[^]. It's implemented by adding a line to the head element in the page:

                So basically, kudos to Code Project for implementing it, and don't be afraid to put it into use in your own site! There's a full list of providers that support it and instructions on how to set it up yourself at http://www.opensearch.org/Home[^].

                      I noticed this a while ago with youtube.com. Details on the functionality:https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95655?hl=en As for the non-clickable links, you can highlight them in chrome, right click and you'll get a couple of options if it determine that it's a link.
