Drag and Drop Search is a free Chrome extension that offers an elegant solution to a common problem: Searching on the website that will give you the answers you need. Google is a great engine, but there is no reason to go through it for everything. If you're after quick facts and figures, you might be better off searching Wikipedia directly; if it's videos you're after, then a direct YouTube search might let you find them faster. If you'd like to get a sense for a place, searching for it on Flickr will show you what it's like. With Drag and Drop Search installed, you only need to select a term, then drag and drop it on the name of the search engine you'd like to use.

I won't try it on here. I'm using a tiny notebook. But when I set my HP back up think I'll give her a whirl and see what is enhanced...or not.

Firefox has that with add-ons, but I find it quicker to just highlight the term, then, right click, and click "google search". From there I can find any kind of specified search on the sidebar.
