Reviews for Swift Selection Search
Swift Selection Search by Daniel Lobo
Review by DavidGB
Rated 5 out of 5
by DavidGB, 8 years agoThis is a great extension without which I wouldn't use Firefox. Thanks so much for it. There's one additional feature I'd love to see, though, which is in the similar 'Selection search' extension for Chrome. In that, in the list of search engines in the options, as well as new search engines one can add submenus and drag some of the search engines into them. In use, the submenus show up in the popup as folder symbols, and on moving the mouse over one of these folders (NOT clicking on it, just hovering over it) a further popup opens on top of the main popup containing the search engines that were put into the submenus in the Options. So, for example, my main popup contains the copy and launch URL, Google, Wikipedia, IMDB etc, but also 3 folders, one of which on mouseover opens a further popup of dictionaries, another of shopping site searches etc. This makes the main popup more reasonable in size and finding things easier than with this extension in Firefox where my Swift Selection Search has all the same search engines configured but the popup contains ALL of them as a mass of icons in a large popup. SO it would be great if you could add this feature. (Note that the engines put in a submenu both appear on mouseover of a folder in the popup, and appear in submenus in the context menu, if display in context menu is also selected.)
Developer response
posted 8 years agoHi! Thanks for the suggestion and for the glowing review. :) Folders are quickly becoming the most requested feature right now and it's definitely on my plans. Unfortunately for me, it's a feature that will take a long time to implement (taking into account the amount of free time I have, and motivation :p), so I'll have to deal with other things in SSS first, before venturing into it. But it's something I want to do in one form or another. :) Cheers!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Leviii, 25 days 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 mnaonmf, a month 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, 2 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 4 out of 5by DynaZor, 5 months agowaiting for full Android Firefox Final (not only beta) release then 5 stars
- Rated 4 out of 5by Wolf, 6 months agoIt would be 5 stars, but gave 4 just because it is not localized. You should really add a localization feature, that would make this extension PERFECT!
