Rated 5 out of 5
by Homme-Nuage, 9 years agoI think I found a nice replacement for Context Search (the one by Ben Basson) and Drag & Drop Zones (which is broken).
It's a very good thing to be able to import engines from the search.json file.
Some of my engines were imported twice, because of the multiple links that exist in some files, but I must clarify that I created custom search engines with XML files, in an amateur way (imitating other search engines) and maybe I didn't do too well. Edit : it is now fixed.
The open as link button doesn't work but I expect it will be fixed soon enough. Edit : it actually worked for single-word and hyphened-word searches but not for a text with spaces or words separated by colons. The dev allowed the former with their last update but the later is forbidden by Mozilla.
Would it be possible to save the preferences ?
Thanks for your work, it is well thought out and deserves a better place on this website.

posted 9 years agoHey there, thanks for the review! :) I'm strongly inclined to believe that your duplicate imported engines were caused by a bug that I fixed in 3.6.0. Hopefully!
Could you please tell me more about the "open as link" icon not working? (or report the problem to https://github.com/CanisLupus/swift-selection-search/issues) It seems to be working for me, but sometimes the problem is hard to reproduce. An example would help a lot!
Exporting the preferences or even syncing with Firefox Sync is in my plans. ;)

- 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, 8 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.
