For anyone interested in one click searching, Search Selection extension is a great companion for a glossary search on various platforms. I’ve added Wanikani for vocab/kanji plus various dictionaries (Jisho, Weblio) and Kitsun dictionary for instant flashcards. This actually eliminates a couple of extensions I already have plus gives room to add more easily. I can’t figure out BunPro though 🤔 , somehow the glossary URL is hiding specific searches on their site or it’s just not compatible (help) so it’s just a hot link for now. Either custom hotkey or click can direct your search: ![15%20PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/4/0/9/4094e1e5173d248a330b06e175c9ccd4fabac064.png) ![36%20PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/0/e/8/0e852ad9476869f3ab4ffae54f906e36455948a4.png) > **[Selection Search](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/selection-search/gipnlpdeieaidmmeaichnddnmjmcakoe)** > > Search for the selected text in search engines ---

Why not just do the normal thing and copy the text, open Jisho, and paste it? 🙃 ---

This is only 2 clicks, same as the Jisho Search extension (no need to copy and paste or even open a new window). Plus if you are creating Kitsun decks, it saves a lot of time. ---

Haha, I was joking. 😛 Looks pretty useful and cool. 👍 ---

Seems useful, but I don’t want to give yet another extension permission to see everything I do. The jisho extension doesn’t need to permission to “read and change all your data on the websites you visit”, so I wonder why this one does. ---

They claim “This is needed because the code for the popup-menu needs to be added to every website for it to work”. I’m not sure if anything is even private anymore 🤷‍♂️ but if they want the analytics of my dictionary searches, they will quickly know how boring of a person I am 😆 If preferred for anyone interested, I did hack a [Kitsun Search](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/search-kitsun/imacbbhnfcapgohgjeligoconimahegb?hl=en) extension and was going to make my other favorite links until I found this Search Selection and got lazy. I suppose if there was enough interest for a separate WK vocab/kanji, I could post them. ---
