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.

  • Select any text
  • Right click the selection
  • Search Google for ...

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.
