Thanks Glenn. I really wish I could get your highlight and search technique to work. So far nothing happens. I have carefully edited the reg file to include the path to the search HTML but after I install the reg, restart and then right click in the browser I don't see anything about Wikipedia. I must be doing something wrong. Has anyone else had this problem.

I haven't tried any yet. I *am* really liking being able to search Wikipedia for selected text now... thanks for the good idea!
