VS Web Search

VS Web Search

Provides online search for the selected text. Is able to search on MSDN, Google, Bing and StackOverflow according to the selected option.

The search command is available through the context menu in a code window:

Can open the results in a new browser tab ( default browser for now ) or in a new Visual Studio tab.

Works best when searching for a word or group of words and not huge amount of text.

Keyboard shortcut can be assigned for fast access. You should assign something that’s not used by another command. I like to use: Ctrl+Shift+S.

The extension can be configured through the options menu (Tools - Options - VS Web Search):

This is a beta version, I’m still working on it so I would appreciate your feedback (how it works, bugs found, suggestions for new features etc), so please let me know what do you think, using the “Q and A” and “Reviews” sections.
