How to search Google, Reddit, TikTok, and other platforms with selected text

Suppose you find a keyboard on Google, then want to read real-world opinions on Reddit and watch demonstration videos on TikTok.

Normally, you would copy the keywords into another site’s search box. You repeat the same steps every time you switch platforms.

Once you add your usual search actions to Float Translate’s Floating Capsule, you only need to select the text and click the platform you want. The capsule uses the selected text as the query and opens that platform’s search results.

Only the platform you click will open. Adding several search actions to the capsule does not submit your text to all of them automatically.

Add search actions to the capsule

Open Float Translate settings, enable the Floating Capsule, and then open its Layout. Web search actions are collected in the Search group.

If the platform you need is not in that group, add its web search action from the layout.

Select the keywords and open the platform you need

Select keywords in a webpage, document, or text field. The Floating Capsule appears near the selection. Click a platform in the Search group to open its search page.

For example, perhaps you have already searched for mechanical keyboard sound test and now want to see how people discuss that sound on community forums. Select the phrase in the search box and click Reddit. To find video demonstrations instead, choose TikTok or YouTube.
