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.

This feature should be standard in Android! Makes it so much easier to quickly select text and run a Google search. Is there any chance we can have it search using the default browser instead of the built in webview tab? Thanks for the great app!

This is a great app that provides something I've wanted for years. One question though. When I open the selected text box, I see "Web search" offered twice. This does no harm. I'm still very happy to have this app, but why is it offered twice?

Custom search is one cool option. And in the context menu everywhere.. Thanks

Doesn't let me select text, nor does a search appear. I might as well just select the address bar and type it in manually then I suppose

You're a lifesaver man, it's made my life so much easier. Now i can just select text in most of my apps and make a quick google search. Thank you!

I liked this app. But it will be great, if there is a search engine customization option as in my launcher the app logo is hidden
