Search selected text in Firefox

Question

What are the different Firefox extensions that can start a search with the selected text?

Firefox has an inbuilt feature to search using the currently selected engine.

I'm looking for something that will let me choose which search engine I want to search with, from my current list of installed search engines.

Context Search is another option, works great.

The Firefox addon Smart Search appears to do what you are looking for.
