      There's no need for a plug-in for this: this is already possible, though not by right-clicking, AFAIK. Just select some text, and under the 'Run' menu, select 'Find using Google'...

      If your 'Run' menu doesn't have a 'Find using Google' option, you can create one with the 'Run...' option in that same menu.  Then, in the 'Type your program to run here' box, enter 'http://www.google.com/search?q=$(CURRENT_WORD)'. Click the Save button, enter the name 'Find using &Google' and the keyboard shortcut you want to assign this function to.  Click OK, restart Notepad++, and you'll see the new option under the Run menu.  You'll also be able to use that keyboard shortcut (unless it's already been assigned to some other function in Npp).
