# Right-click Google Scholar Search
{% hint style="info" %}
🍎 Before you begin this tutorial, make sure you've completed the [Developer Quick Start Guide](https://docs.pixiebrix.com/quick-start/mod-developer).
{% endhint %}
In this tutorial, we'll automate a simple process: searching for the text you highlight in Google Scholar.
We'll use this [PBS](https://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/duke-ellington-about-duke-ellington/586/) page to develop our workflow, but afterward, you’ll be able to use this on any website.
âś…Want to start using this mod rather than building it from scratch? You can [activate this mod](https://www.pixiebrix.com/marketplace/6754635f-ce81-4829-8349-90c831c1b7c5/search-highlighted-text-in-google-scholar/) with a few clicks from our marketplace.
### 1. Configure a Right-click Button
#### Open the Page Editor
Start by navigating your browser to this PBS article: [A Duke Named Ellington](https://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/duke-ellington-about-duke-ellington/586/). Then, [open the PixieBrix Page Editor](https://docs.pixiebrix.com/platform-overview/page-editor/open-the-page-editor).
#### Grant Access
The first time you open the Page Editor on a new webpage, you need to grant PixieBrix access to the page. You can grant permanent access by either:
* Clicking **Grant Permanent Access**, or
* Granting temporary access by clicking on the PixieBrix extension in the Chrome Extensions dropdown and then refreshing the page
{% hint style="info" %}
🚨If you had the Page Editor open before navigating to the PBS page, you'd need to close it by clicking the X in the top right corner and re-open it to provide access.
{% endhint %}
#### Configure a Context Menu Item
* Click **New Mod** in the top left of the Page Editor and choose Context Menu, and select **Context Menu**
* In the Title field, replace "Context Menu Item" with "%s - Google Scholar"
{% hint style="info" %}
đź’ˇ The "%s" portion will configure the caption to dynamically change based on the text you highlight. Note this convention is different than the mustache braces {{ used in other places in PixieBrix. It's because *Chrome* is filling in the selected text, not PixieBrix.
{% endhint %}
To test your context menu configuration:
1. Highlight Duke Ellington on the webpage
2. Right click to expand the context menu. It should look like this
#### Configure Where the Context Menu Appears
* In the Sites field, click **All URLs**. This tells PixieBrix to show the context menu item on any webpage you visit
* Scroll down to the **Advanced Configuration**. In the Advanced Permission section, click **All URLs**. This gives PixieBrix access to a page without you first clicking the context menu
### 2. Search Google Scholar
#### Define Your Search Parameters
Next, we'll figure out how to construct a search URL for Google Scholar.
In a separate tab, go to the [Google Scholar](https://scholar.google.com/) homepage and search for "Louis Armstrong"
After you click "Enter," you will be taken to the search results page, which has this URL:
Copy the following:
```javascript
https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C33&q=Louis+Armstrong&btnG=
```
Toward the end of the URL, you will see `q=Louis+Armstrong`. Google Scholar uses "q" as the search parameter.
#### Configure the Search
We'll first need to add the “Open a tab” brick. Click the **+** icon to add a brick.
Search "open a tab" and choose it
In the URL, put `https://scholar.google.com/scholar?`
In the params field, click the arrow next to the “**x**” at the end of the row, then select “**Object properties**”
Click **Add a Property**. Delete `property` and replace it with `q`, the search parameter we identified in the URL.
In the Value text box type `@input.selectionText`
{% hint style="info" %}
Context Menus always include a "Context menu reader" that provides the `documentUrl` and information about the selected element. In our case, `selectionText` will provide the selected text
{% endhint %}
### 3. Test Your Search
To test your Search, highlight "Duke Ellington" in the PBS article, and click. A new tab should open to the following URL: . Click **Save** in the Page Editor, and try different searches on different web pages.
Clicking the **Save** icon will bring up a modal for [packaging-a-mod](https://docs.pixiebrix.com/developing-mods/sharing-mods/packaging-a-mod "mention"). Set an alias if you haven't already and give the mod a unique ID and description, then click **Create**.
