New in version 0.9: by request, if you click on a hyperlink you will now see the option to search Wikipedia for the text of the hyperlink. This new menu item can be disabled via the options dialog. Additional permissions were required to implement this feature as it requires access to page content.
New in version 0.8: You can now optionally keep focus in your current tab rather than switching to the search tab immediately
New in version 0.7: You can set your search to always use the English-language version of Wikipedia no matter what language your browser uses.
