- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13493718, 6 years agoSuper impressive. This is not just another context menu search extension, it's more than that! Unexpected but much appreciated features and customization. Seems to have good support and active development.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Alan O, 7 years agoThanks! It's perfect. It is also a excelent alternative to "Add to search bar".
- Rated 5 out of 5by Expmodo, 7 years agoОтличное расширение.
Особенно хорошо сделали опцию для создания поисковой системы через ПКМ по нажатию на поле поиска-сайта, с автоматическим подхватыванием адреса-поиска.
p.s Quick Menu dont working in Firefox 59.

Sorry. Everything is working. It was necessary to simply reinstall.Developer response
posted 7 years agoHmm that's odd. It's been working for me in FF59. Would you mind answering a few questions so I can help you troubleshoot?
What OS are you using?
What website isn't working?
Is Quick Menu enable in ContextSearch options?
Have you loaded your search engines?
(edit) Good deal! - Rated 5 out of 5by colonelq, 7 years agoreply thanks
I think good add-on because use in textbox
I'm sorry, my English is not good
"Selection Context Search"(add-on) has function
https://addons.mozilla.org/ja/firefox/addon/selection-context-search/
close the popup window when scrolling
close the popup window after ? seconds
I hope
these two config to addDeveloper response
posted 7 years agoTry 1.2.4b2. Added a few options for closing plus a way to keep the menu open for clicking multiple search engines
Do you use the 'close after ? seconds' option in the other add-on? It's not difficult to add, but I can't think of a scenario where it's useful. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13577709, 7 years agoA few weeks ago, it almost could replace my old extension, that i used before quantum - now its even better.
GREAT, FAST WORK!
Thank you :-) - Rated 5 out of 5by Boaz Dodin, 7 years agoWorks great and fast, great communication with developer on GitHub.
- Rated 5 out of 5by graycatgrayhat, 7 years agoPerfect extension for replacing Firefox's built in context menu search which is fairly limited.
- Rated 5 out of 5by yomito, 7 years agoAt this moment this extension is the best contextual menu searcher. It made me update to FF 57. Thank you very much.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13107594, 7 years agoVery handy Context Search is Back in different Shape!!!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12547439, 7 years agoWorks just like the old contextsearch plug-in on the old firefox version. Added functionality of the quick buttons is a nice touch and being able to resize them is a good option on screens with a very high pixel density.

- Rated 5 out of 5by MisfortuneCookie, 7 years agoUpdate: 5 stars now. Developer quickly added an offset option. Great developer!
A nice replacement for the Context Search pop-up I was using with FF56. One thing that would make it nicer would be an offset option. Currently the auto-pop-up automatically appears over top of the text you had highlighted. The old Context Search plugin I used allowed you to offset the X and Y of the popup by a number of pixels so it would appear where you want it.
Other than that, the only other thing that sucks is Quantum's inability to let you easily add search engines to the search bar, which does limit the use of this plugin somewhat, though that's not the developer's fault.Developer response
posted 7 years agoEdit 1.2.0
You can now install a native app to keep your search engines updated automatically. Check ContextSearch Options->Search Engines for details
=========================================================
I'll look into making an offset option. I'll edit this post with a beta link when I have something.
(edit) check the latest releases - Rated 5 out of 5by sign-in-smth, 7 years agoedit4: (1.1.2.5)
yes this version works nicely here too, tried it near the scrollbar, with and without zoom.
excellent support as always, thank you!!Developer response
posted 7 years agore: !! edit3: (1.1.2)
That's strange. I think you've mentioned that issue before but I can only replicate it by resizing the browser after the quickmenu is open. I think I've got a fix in mind. I'll put up a beta in a few if I've got it.
re #6 Still has issues with zoom, reverting back to 1.1.2 for now
re #7 Last patch of the day. 1.1.2.5 seems to be working for me

- Rated 5 out of 5by Yhpt, 7 years agoQuick Menu doesn't appear by holding either of the mouse buttons. But it worked once with a Press Key option.
57.0.2 (64-bit)
UPD: Holding mouse buttons works but not on every website. It works, for example, on youtube.com but doesn't work on addons.mozilla.org.
REPLY: All the websites, I've been using within last 24h, work. Thanks for clarification.Developer response
posted 7 years ago(edit) Good deal. I was a bit worried there.
Add-ons using content scripts don't work on addons.mozilla.org. It's not a bug, it's a security feature put in place by Mozilla. What other websites aren't working? - Rated 5 out of 5by levictus, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13347424, 7 years agoI am so satisfied. ^^
Thank you very much.
If you right-click the text while dragging, pop-up will open. It works very well with the search engine.
If there is a wish, do not drag the text, right-click (slightly delayed) pop-up opens
It can also be used as a substitute for bookmarks.
======================================================
I am sorry for not being able to explain properly.
I am very satisfied with the present and I am using it well.
It is perfect even if you do not modify it anymore.
In the current state, dragging a text and right-clicking or left-clicking opens a search engine pop-up.
It is very good. Leave the current functionality intact
The point of the article is to click anywhere in the web page with the mouse (left click or right click)
It was a personal idea that I wanted to run pop-ups.
Thank you for developing a good program.Developer response
posted 7 years agoI realize there's a bit of a language barrier, but let me see if I understand you. Are you saying you'd like the popup menu to open on perhaps a longer right or left-click with no text selected, and use the popup menu as a bookmark menu? Interesting idea.
==========================================
If you could explain with a bit more detail, I'd be happy to look into it. I couldn't get the behavior you're describing. If you meant left-click, I am seeing the quick menu open while dragging. I'll look to correct that. Which button is your primary mouse button for clicking links, dragging, etc? Left or Right?
(edit) Try 1.0.7.2rc here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/contextsearch-web-ext/versions/1.0.7.2rc. I've added some code to cancel the popup when dragging.
(edit2) Quick Menu disabled during drag events 1.0.8+ - Rated 5 out of 5by G.L. Dearman, 7 years agoI have nothing but thanks for the developers who made this. I don't understand why this hasn't been added to Firefox's core functionality yet. Ever since the Firefox 57 upgrade disabled the old Context Search app, I've been frustrated and annoyed. Finally, I have something to replace it!
