Rated 5 out of 5
by tvfj, 9 years agoEssentially two addons in one and HIGHLY customizable.
If you don't like the popup, you can just use it in the context menu. It also lets you define how new tabs are opened (load in current tab, open in new tab, open in tab next to this one, open in a new tab without switching to it...), and even define a middle-click setting as well.
Protip: To import your browser search engines, you can press Shift+F2 to bring up the GCLI, and use the command "folder openprofile", then get the file it mentions. No need to hunt, and if you have multiple profiles no need to try and figure out which one is your actual one.

posted 9 years agoThank you for your review. :) I'm glad you like it! I also want to add that I didn't know about that command nor the shortcut, so I should thank you again for that tip. ;) 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, 7 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.

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.
