Search for selected text in a new tab is a Chrome add-on developed by Feras Albaroudi. It is a free tool that falls under the category of Browsers and the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools.

This add-on is designed for users who prefer the old behavior of Chrome's built-in "Search for" context menu item. Previously, when using Chrome's "Search for" feature, the search results would open in a side panel. However, with the recent changes, the search results are now displayed in a new tab.

With this add-on, users can revert back to the old behavior and have the search results open in a new tab, just like before. This can be particularly useful for those who find the side panel display less convenient or prefer to have the search results in a separate tab for better organization and navigation.

Overall, Search for selected text in a new tab provides a simple solution for Chrome users who want to customize their browsing experience and bring back the old behavior of the "Search for" feature.
