posted 7 years ago> This addon is great but is it possible to run all search engines in folder at the same time?
When using the popup menu, yeah ( context menu folders have no usable click events ). Clicking the middle mouse button on a folder will search all engines in the folder with the current search terms and send the results to background pages. You can change this behavior in Options -> Quick Menu -> Search Actions -> Folders column.
> 2nd thing is hotkey assigned to search engine. Is it possible to make not a single letter but e.g. 2-letter / 3-letter phrase?
Not currently. Be aware, the hotkeys only work with the quick menu opened. If you're looking to select text and press a key to immediately perform a search, you might want to open the qm using the keyboard method ( using CTRL for instance ) and then you can press your preferred search engine hotkey to execute a search. If you're looking for more functionality, consider opening a thread on the github support site.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Tony, a month agoI was using Swift Selection Search until it got deprecated. Looking for an alternative I found ContextSearch. And if Swift Selection Search was good, ContextSearch is even better! A very customisable context search add-on.

- Rated 4 out of 5by TheInvoker, 4 months agoSarebbe perfetta se nel campo di ricerca ci fossero i suggerimenti (almeno quelli di google) e fosse possibile aggiungere un traduttore

- Rated 3 out of 5by eli@, 4 months agoHabe eine eigene Suchmaschine erfolgreich hinzugefügt, die Einstellungen werden aber, trotz Speichern, leider nicht behalten. Alle Felder sind nach Neustart von Firefox wieder leer.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jean-Ricky, 7 months agoMUCH MORE than contextual (select text & launch) search
MULTIPLE SITES (not only "whole web" - as Google & the likes) search engines AT ONCE
makes this add-on UNIQUE !
Besides, it is HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE : provides
• different KINDS OF OF MENUS (Context/Quick/Toolbar/Sidebar) to launch searches
• many UI CONFIGURATIONS OPTIONS to fit your likes
Just a [very] few points to note :
• too many options (time to master) ?
• missing tool-tips & not always detailed enough ones...
Whatever: unique & powerful
