Description by Hai Zhang(from Google Play)
This tiny app can add a "Web search" action to the text selection toolbar on Android.
It also adds a "Web search" as target for sharing text.
The default search engine can be configured in its settings page, openable in Custom Tabs toolbar, or the App info page for this app in system Settings.
Text selection toolbar requires Android 6.0 or above, so this app requires it as well.

I ❤️🔥 UR plug-in- Select Text 2 Search Support Button on the Play Store 4 free cuz it's a super badass idea 2 have searchable capabilities built-in 2 the text edit options throughout Android OS & all overlays but also, please find away to add Google Select Text 2 TTS Support Button as well that's as easy 2 integrate the Support Button capabilities setup & super easy like the Select Text 2 TTS Setup & that would make this plug-in up-to-date W/ Android 15 OneUI7 & ect for all Android 15+/- devices

Been 3 more years and I can't live without it - summer 2026. Since Chrome is the only Chromium browser that won't add a "share link or text to browser" in the share sheet, this app is a godsend. If I need to share anything to open in Chrome, this does it! Edge, Samsung Internet, etc. all have a shortcut in Share but not Chrome! Thanks, this app does exactly what it says it will. Reviewing on January 29, 2023. Pixel 5, Android 13

When using YouTube, when I highlight some text I've written in the comments box so that I can check spelling or research a name, etc. I don't see a web search option in the drop box. It's still the same old, copy, paste, select all, but no web search option. I thought this app provided that. I'm using Android 15.

I'm sorry to give a bad review score, I just need your attention to help me get this to work. I'm trying to use it inside and app called obsidian, and it isn't working for some reason. Any clues ?
