Developer response
posted 5 years agoHi and thanks for the review! If you have feature suggestions please report them to the GitHub issues page instead of here. :)
1. I think you are looking for the "Discard on open" checkbox that each search engine has in SSS. It avoids creating a new tab. You can already use engines like es:{searchTerms} for searching with the Everything app.
2. You'd have to use "file:///" before the actual path, but file paths won't work anyway because the WebExtensions API will block them as invalid URLs (i.e. "Error: Illegal URL: file:///C:/Applications/Something.exe") even though Firefox recognizes them as correct when writing them in the URL. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Cheers!

- Rated 5 out of 5by atata, 4 months agoIt's great.
However, as the number of search engines I want to use increases, it becomes too large to fit them all.
It would be great if it had a multi-level structure using folders like bookmarks. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17966372, 4 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Leviii, 6 months agoAmazing addon, I have bunch of search engines saved and it prevents me from routing everything through google. Also I have integrated it with everything windows search app which makes it even more useful. Currently development is stalled but it's become irreplaceable for me.

- Rated 5 out of 5by meonmf, 7 months agoThis extension is absolutely fantastic—the intuitive yet powerful interface, the deep customization options, and the full backup and restore features make it a joy to use. Truly impressive work. You've covered it all (except an Android version 😭 though I know there's a fork I can use instead).

- Rated 5 out of 5by Aissa Jessus, 7 months agoVery effect and clean. Easy and quick to setup and add new search sites and customize them.
I am currently using it heavily for cross sites search and routine custom searches.

- Rated 5 out of 5by RichardJT, 10 months agoGood morning , i hope you're well. So, more default SEs nice, but easy enough to add. Sweet, sweet ride!!! Stays open when other tasks need attention; not like bill's menus.
6/5 bc this your only add-on.
7/5 bc i can't see a way to donate for your exceptional effort. C u on github, hopefully.
