av a fox lover, för 8 år sedanedit: you're suck a great developer, it's really a good thing that the firefox community has someone like you
(edit) thank you a lot for your hard working and your care for user. Whatever coming next, I'm still happy with your extension
[edit] update, about your question: First, thank for your respond. And here's my answers: I feel it can be very easy for everyone, if they can just see the search results in the sidebar, and then continuous with what they're reading, without having to close the result tab or switch back to their tab, especially when you do the search regularly. And screens are getting bigger and wider, so let the sidebar opened won't be a big deal

Looks like using the sidebar isn't too viable right now with the API limitations
* no POST capability (no page injection for POST code, sidebar not considered a TAB)
* can't open sidebar from quick menu / toolbar search (only available to context menu searches)
* limited width unless user edits files in profile dir
* sidebar always opens on install for FF pre-62 (minor annoyance)
Maybe in the future when the API is a bit more robust I can look into it again.
(edit 8-19)
The web extensions API is limited in how sidebars can be opened. I can send search results to the sidebar, but I cannot OPEN the sidebar programmatically in some cases. This may effect usability.
(edit) I'm trying it out now. The sidebar width is limited but I've read it can be increased by making changes to userChrome.css . I can add the option to open search results in the sidebar under -- search actions -- without much additional code.
You want to open search results in the sidebar vs in a tab? Could you explain a bit more about how that would be useful to you?

- Betygsatt 5 av 5av Tony, för 4 månader sedanI 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.

- Betygsatt 5 av 5av Jean-Ricky, för 10 månader sedanMUCH 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
