Right click to "google"

When I highlight a word,and right click, how do I enable the resultant popup box include "google search"?

Any advise would be gratefully received.

I'm sure you have to have the Google Tool Bar installed to allow this to happen.

See the Right-Click Functionality at the bottom of the page.

You can choose not to have the Tool Bar on view and have it hidden, but the Right Click facility should still be active.

You can download here for IE . . . . > Google Tool Bar for Internet Explorer

Or

You can download here for Firefox . . . . > Google Tool Bar for Firefox

It's slightly different with the Firefox Google Toolbar. Instead of getting "Google Search" when you highlight something and right click like you do in IE, it says "Search Web for", although it still does a search with Google. At least, that's how it is on mine.
