What should be added?
When right-clicking on some selected text, there should be a "Search with google..." option that opens the browser with a google search for the selected phrase.
Why should it be added?
Can be useful to quickly google things other chatters are talking about.
This is also a feature in google chrome and other modern browsers, I personally use it quite often in the browser and I imagine it could be similarly useful in Chatterino. I've also seen "Search with google..." being an option in the Intellij IDEA console where it can be used to quickly google for error messages etc.
maybe we could even offer a advanced setting for alternate search engines for people who dislike google
advanced setting for alternate search engines
I suggest such setting be located on the "External Tools" settings page.
What alternate search engines do we think make sense here?
From popularity:
Bing?
Yahoo?
What alternate search engines do we think make sense here?
I believe the idea here is to support custom query schemas, similar to the "Custom stream player" and "Image Uploader" sections in the "External tools" settings.
I was thinking about duckduckgo. I think this is popular with the "no google"-demographic
Also what Leon just said.
