Great extension with a little bug: The bookmarked searches only work when the browser locale is set to en-us.

It would be nice if you could add a placeholder for the complete URL and an option to use searches without a selection in the page and link context. Ex: https://web.archive.org/web/*/~$U$~ could open an archived page.

Edit: Thanks a lot for the quick update. 5 stars now. :)

Searched a long time for an extension with this functionality. Works flawlessly.

if only were a way to use the already existing search engines instead oftrying to build from scratch

The Best!

When enabled, Firefox starts to increase CPU load for about 40%. Even when I have Firefox window on background. I had to disable it and restart Firefox and my CPU load is back to normal.

真的很不错，关键是自定义方面足够强大。希望以后能支持多重搜索！就是一次打开多个标签，每个标签使用不同搜索引擎。

Для новой версии Firefox лучше не найти добавления поиска в контекст меню

Works like a charm !

Searched an add-on like this for a long time (used one similar on Chrome) and finally found this one.

Easily 5 stars.

Bonus points for customization of the text and of the folder name.

It doesn’t read the bookmarks in my case though, and I cannot debug this because of obfuscated source code.

At least my security concerns are lifted: I forgot that Mozilla Team reviews the code of extensions.

Last night a DJ saved my life. Awesome, very customizable and intuitive, 100% user friendly. Some searches as Rottentomatoes or Metacritic do not seem to work. I have done it manually too and nothing happens. A 5 either way. EDIT: after a week I found the way to add the searchers by myself. Just thinking; maybe add some hotkeys to automatize and do faster the searchers so we do not have to actually right click on the selected word.

Nice, but:
1) Is it possible to cache favicons? It's not too smooth to see and wait them loading.
2) Why it is necessary to duplicate engines? I must add an engine both into Firefox and this addon. EVERY TIME!

Exactly what I needed and nice and easy to use.

I really miss context search x and add too searchbar prior to 57. Please add Newegg.com Best Buy and Micro Center to search options.

Nice extension. Would it be possible to add open selected text in a new tab?
Something that just opens the highlighted text
(whatever it is and however it is formatted) in a new tab.

Good Add-on!

I was always using 'pastego' for the old search bar:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pastego/

I don't like the new search bar.
You need to make a right click > paste > select engine.

With the old old search bar and 'pastego' you also need to select the engine first.

If your Add-on would have a button we could click and then select the engine like we do in the context
menu and search for what is in the clipboard it would be perfect.

It also means there would be less work because adding all the engines only to your Add-on and no need to add them also to the Firefox 'one-click search engines'

Would you add an option to open the new tab next to the current one? Thank you.

A marvelously designed extension! Thank you.

Can you put your extensions on GitHub so that issues can be raised there?

Also, can you have the extension store the favicons? Loading them each time is fairly slow.

This is a very useful addon.

One minor feature I'd like to suggest is trimming trailing spaces from the selection. You get such spaces in the selection when you double click on a word.

...In the context menu. Is it a method to remedy it by myself? If not could you please put a look? Thanks for the work.

on Firefox 57 beta, cannot export settings
can you fix it?

edit:
setting export is ok on version 1.12, fx 57 beta 6

Icons can be gotten. I asked the same thing of another search context menu developer and he found a way to do it. Check his add-on here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/contextual-search/?src=search

I replaced my old not correctly working context search plugin with this one and have no problems. The only thing I would kike to see as an improvement would be syncing the search sites list thru Firefox Sync

This is an obviously useful add-on. I used to use "Context Search" but it is not being maintained and will be incompatible with FF 57+ so must find a replacement. "Selection Context Search" seems the best option but it needlessly complicates the method for adding search engines. FF already has a method for adding search engines via mycroftproject.com. I have a large set of search plugins that I have already curated and it would be daunting task to do this over again, especially by the method implemented in for this add-on.

Selection Context Search requires me to know the URL path for the search engine and gives me no hints as to how to find this info. Whereas, Context Search just used the already installed search plugins from MyCroft. And it is not even clear to me how I would add a search engine to Selection Context Search.

Why implement an entirely different and far less user friendly method of adding search engines when you can just use the search plugins that the user has already installed?

I hope the developer of this plugin will update this extension to use the existing search plugins. That is how it should work, logically. There is no need or value in implementing any other method of adding search engines. In fact, it detracts from the usability of the extension.

For me, this is perfect ! Thank you ~
