Windows Quick Tip #3 – Add Google Search to Right-Click IE Menu

I rarely use Internet Explorer, but there are certain situations that I still have to, and I find myself right-clicking sections of text all of the time to search Google for something on a certain website. Firefox has this built-in ability, IE does not. Winhelponline has found a simple and quick fix to adding such capability to the right-click menu in Internet Explorer 7 and 8.

1. Download google.zip and extract the files to a folder

2. Move google.htm to C:\Windows\Web directory

3. Double-click google.reg to run it

4. Open a new Internet Explorer window and select the text which you want to search using Google, right-click and then select Search with Google option. (Using the option with SHIFT key pressed, opens the Google search page in a new Internet Explorer window.)
