posted a year ago"There is no possible selective search on multiple sites at the same time. Bullshit!"
There are a number of ways to search multiple sites at the same time.
Folder search -> Search every engine in a particular folder with one click.
When using the context menu, enable "Show an option to search the entire folder at the top of the menu". This places a menu entry that allows searching every engine in the folder.
When using one of the tile-based menus, map a mouse button to a folder search action under Quick Menu -> Search Actions. Tile-based menus also allow for clicking several engines, one after the other, while keeping the menu open, whereas the context menu does not.
You can also create a new engine with multiple URLs in the template field. Simply enter them as a javascript array, i.e. ["http://somewebsite/q={searchTerms}", "http://someotherwebsite/search/{searchTerms}"]
Существует несколько способов одновременного поиска на нескольких сайтах.
Поиск в папке -> Поиск в каждом движке в определенной папке одним щелчком мыши.
При использовании контекстного меню включите «Показать параметр для поиска во всей папке вверху меню». Это помещает пункт меню, который позволяет искать каждый движок в папке.
При использовании одного из меню на основе плитки сопоставьте кнопку мыши с действием поиска в папке в меню «Быстрое меню» -> «Действия поиска». Меню на основе плитки также позволяют щелкать несколько движков один за другим, оставляя меню открытым, тогда как контекстное меню этого не делает.
Вы также можете создать новый движок с несколькими URL-адресами в поле шаблона. Просто введите их в виде массива JavaScript, например ["http://somewebsite/q={searchTerms}", "http://someotherwebsite/search/{searchTerms}"]

- Rated 5 out of 5by HypnotizedNarcissist, 2 months agoFor me one of the best addons here!
bravo Mike B - Rated 5 out of 5by maikcheck, 2 months agoThis has very quickly become one of the essential extensions that I need to have installed on each of my devices’ web browsers. Adding search engines to use in conjunction with Firefox’s search shortcut keywords as well as being able to insert bookmarklets into the quick menu have been absolute game changers.

posted 2 months ago(edit) That bug has been found and will be fixed in the next release
The save bug is known and may have been addressed in a recent version. I know it's been a persistent annoyance.
As for the transparency, you should be able to set that yourself using CS Options -> General -> User Styles. Use CSS selectors to apply opacity levels to the menu. If you need help, open an issue at the github site.- Rated 1 out of 5by mimigu, 3 months agoVersions after May no longer work. I would like to downgrade to an earlier version but can't find it.
Developer response
posted 3 months agoYou can find older versions here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/contextsearch-web-ext/versions/
But depending on what when wrong, that may not fix your problems. If you could elaborate on the issue, either here or at the support site, I'd be happy to go over some troubleshooting with you. https://github.com/ssborbis/ContextSearch-web-ext - Rated 5 out of 5by bezuma, 4 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by OzMerry, 7 months agoLove this add-on and use it all the time, but as of today 16-May-2023 (same date as last updated), it no longer works. Clicking on the icon in the overflow toolbar does nothing. I hope this can be fixed soon.
Edit: Thank you for responding. I've reported the issue on Github, as requested. I'm happy to try debugging advice (I'm in Australia, so probably a time difference).
Edit 2: Well I thought I'd fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling it, but when I logged into my laptop today, it wasn't working again.Developer response
posted 7 months agoI wonder if something went wrong during the update. If reloading the browser didn't fix the problem, please open a new issue at the support site here.

There, I can better help troubleshoot and check for any problems. You can also edit your reply here and I'll try to talk you through some debugging. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13667925, 8 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by FQ1, a year agoThis is the best search tool I've ever used, but the context menu often disappears. I'm using Win10, Firefox 108.0.1. I've tried reinstalling it, but it doesn't work.

posted 8 months agoSorry for the late reply. If you're still having issues, please edit your review and elaborate or visit the github support site and I'd be happy to look into the problem. - Rated 5 out of 5by Gridlocked, a year agoThis actually works with any website that has a search bar - as far as I can tell.
IMO this is far better than any other 'context' search extension as all the rest are limited. - Rated 5 out of 5by lisa, a year agoWhat happened to the domain search engine, it just disappeared into thin air and disappears again if I import an older backup??? Hope this can be resolved because I use it quit often.
I do really love this highly adjustable search bubble, thank you for that!
PS I figured it out, had to add a new engine with:
https://www.google.com/search?q=site:{subdomain} {searchTerms}Developer response
posted a year ago(edit #4) 1.46.3 going up. If this doesn't solve the problem, please consider opening a new issue at the support site.
(edit #3) One more issue to fix. The engine disappears after you move it.
(edit #2) 1.46.2 going up. You can replace {subdomain} with {selectdomain} and get the tiled menus to display choices again.
(edit) I'm seeing the problem. I'll get a hotfix up soon. Thanks for the heads up
I'd be interested in trying your old config to see the engine disappear so I can correct that bug. If you you have a github account, open a new issue at the support site and I'll look into it. - Rated 5 out of 5by PEEM1, a year ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by asg aesgasgea sg, a year agoBy far the most important extension. Would switch browsers for an addon like this. Not only that but the guy is awesome and very responsive on his github.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15217831, a year agoNot quite as polished as the screenshots would suggest. But certainly the functionality for this extension is beautiful.
*The sidebar doesn't seem to be displaying anything ... But the button for the extension is working just fine.
