What variant of Codex are you using?

Codex App

What feature would you like to see?

In the Codex desktop app, when text is selected in a conversation, the context menu shows a fixed Search with Google action. Please add a setting to choose the search provider used by this selected-text context-menu action. At minimum, support Google and Bing. A more flexible option would allow a custom search URL template, such as https://www.bing.com/search?q={query}. When Bing is selected, the menu label should read Search with Bing.

Additional information

This helps users who prefer Bing or work in environments where Google is not available or not preferred. I searched existing issues for Search with Google and for Bing/Google context-menu terms; I did not find an existing issue for configuring this provider.
