Description
A simple Anki add-on that adds context-menu entries to search the card browser and various online search providers for selected words. The entries will appear both in the Reviewer and Card Editor.
COMPATIBILITY
This add-on only works with Anki's stable release branch (2.0.x ≥ 2.0.30). The 2.1 beta branch is not supported at this point in time.
SEARCH PROVIDERS
Currently supported are Google, Google Images, and Wikipedia. You can add new providers by editing the source code and modifying the SEARCH_PROVIDERS list. Just make sure to follow the syntax of the other entries.

2017-08-06 – Refactored code
2016-01-26 – Only create a submenu when needed
2017-01-17 – Rewrote add-on, added support for online search providers

This add-on is awesome!
I would be eternally grateful if it could be used to search PDFs. I regularly rely on multiple textbooks that I find myself parsing to better understand the pre-built anki deck I am studying from. I make 50+ searches per day through PDFs and being able to highlight the text in an anki card and then have the find command in adobe reader prefilled with my search term would be ABSOLUTE MAGIC.
Can you please create this functionality as a commented part of the code with a prefilled path such as:
/Users/JohnDoe/Downloads/Textbook.pdf
Having this would be AMAZING. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment from author
Hi! Thanks for the great feedback. I agree that PDF look-ups would be really cool, but it's difficult to implement as there is no canonical way to instruct PDF readers to look up a specific search term. Still, this idea is cool enough to warrant looking into, so I've added it to my to-do list: https://github.com/glutanimate/anki-addons-misc/issues/92

Works great!
Here's the UpToDate search line: ("UpToDate", u"https://www.uptodate.com/contents/search?search=%s"), and the Pubmed Search line: ("Pubmed", u"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=%s"),
