Windows 10: Highlight & Right Click Search Not Working

When I highlight a word or series of words in a website and right click it says “search Google for “that word or phrase” and nothing happens. How do I fix that?

Highlight search terms in a Windows 10 browser on Windows tablet.

Original Title: Highlight search terms in browser on a Windows tablet?

I'm having trouble finding the following combination:

• A browser that works well on a Windows 10 tablet
• The ability to highlight search terms on a web page

Firefox (at least the 32 bit version) doesn't work well with "pinch to zoom", so it is very annoying on a tablet. But it has a good add-on for highlighting search terms, called SearchWP.

The other three browsers work well on Windows tablets, but I haven't found a good way to highlight search terms.

• Internet Explorer can use the Google Toolbar highlights, but the Google Toolbar seems abandoned and it doesn't seem safe to use abandoned tools.
• Edge doesn't have any extensions yet.
• Chrome has extensions such as efTwo, but I can't get the highlighting of search terms to work, and others report the same problem in the reviews.

Has anyone found a good solution for highlighting search terms on a browser for a Windows 10 tablet?

 

Highlighting and then searching the words that are highlighted

When I am in Facebook, I cannot highlight words. In Windows 8.1, I could highlight information and right click it and be able to search the item.

Would anyone have any info to help me with this? Thanks!!!
