Interestingly, ivey had already posted this technique some time ago. It's a very useful thing. It should be somewhere in the site documentation.

But, ivey's post doesn't work anymore because apparently vroom is filtering out links like <A HREF="javascript:...">. That's why I couldn't put the code in a link and say "right click this link".

Also, I suspect that it would be really easy to adapt the Internet Explorer Everything Search Button for PM so that the OS-impaired among us can have neat searching capabilities :)

Oh my god,
The button is the same for IE(os independant):

javascript: Q=document.selection.createRange().text;
if(!Q){void(Q=prompt('Gimme%20some%20text%20to%20search%20E2!%20Now','
+'))};
if(Q)location.href='http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node='+escape(Q)
+;
