Currently, Firefox supports searching of highlighted text by way of the context menu's "Search xxx for yyy" (where xxx is the currently-selected search engine in the Search Bar, and yyy is the highlighted text).

Enhancement: Change the "Search xxx for yyy" item in the context menu to a flyout submenu listing all of the installed search engines, whereby the highlighted text may be quickly searched using whichever one the user selects.

e.g.:

     Search Google for "fan death"

becomes:

     Search for "fan death"   >
                           using Google
                           using Wikipedia
                           using IMDB
                              etc.
