dickloraine's correct. I was hoping for the other way around but kiwidudes' plugin will prove useful thank you.

If I understand eschwartz's solution it would be similar to this which definitely works.

Currently using Calibre for reference books and articles, and when researching through the internet. If I find valuable info, it is usually only referenced. So I will then copy and past the title of the book or article into calibre to make sure I don't already have it, then if no duplicate turn to one of the search sites - Copy and paste - to retrieve the full reference

Again eschwartz's solution helpful, but only solves half the problem, and doesn't save to many clicks. If there was a way to option "my search site" as a search engine within firefox I think that would be helpful, but when I click add search engine it takes me to Mozilla's plugin page
Additionally is there a way to alter the right click choices in linux. For instance Right now I can get choice like 'save to pocket' or 'add to evernote'
Is there a way to get "search in Calibre'
I thikn Windows has something useful with download 'FileMenu Tools', but I need something for linux.

Thank you guys
