- Rated 5 out of 5by Hassanjwr6, 2 months agoThank you for this amazing addon, But I found one problem, I searched everywhere and could'nt find a solution.
How can I add links with this pattern to CS?
"www.example.com/search/"
I tried this,
"www.example.com/search/%s"
"www.example.com/search/?\s=%s"
etc.
but most of time it returns nothing or returns a debug page of the site that shocked me.
one real example for this problem is Nexusmod when searching for a game.
"https://www.nexusmods.com/search/"
How can I add it to CS ?
Please Help
Edit:
I just sent message to author, he is a nice guy.
The problem is the some website do not use the legecy method of URL search method such as google, youtube, etc. They use POST method and you need another addons for that I will leave the reply from Olivier him self, Thank you very much Olivier.

Hi Hassan,
I think the problem is that those websites use the POST method for the searches which my version of Context Search doesn’t support.
I actually don’t know how to add that feature to CS, so I can only recommend another very good extension which does support POST methods:

Kind regards,
Olivier

Upd. Откатился на версию 3.9.5, она стабильная, работает Alt (вызов панель меню) и нет бага с переводчиком. Непонято, что за обновления там были и для чего, разницы не вижу. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16318253, 5 months agoWorks like a charm. Thank you, sir!
Just for information. Image reverse searching is great, but I discovered it only after a month or so of using. So is the image info feature. Maybe it would be better to make them more notable somehow. - Rated 4 out of 5by Lodhar, 7 months agoVery happy with that extension, I use it for a while now. But. Recently the "Alt" key to show the Firefox menus stopped working in some tabs (like google search), but not every tab. Safe mode drove me to this extension. Must be a bug, no? Can you look into this?

posted 7 months agoPlease send me an email detailing the steps to reproduce the bug. Thank you. - Rated 1 out of 5by RA.AZ, 7 months agoClosed source now. Bearing in mind that it can "Access your data for all web sites" this functionality is not worth the risk.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17229354, 7 months agoThis add-on is now closed sourced as the maintainer made the repos private

posted 8 months agoThe Page action icon should now only appear when an opensearch plugin is available from the website you're visiting. It makes it easier to add a search engine. - Rated 5 out of 5by Sivana, a year agoI love this add-on so much! Very easy to use :)
I was wondering if there is a way to add the search engines that are on some manga sites using the WordPress system. Cause they attach &post_type=wp-manga at the end of the search so it's hard to get this add-on to include thatDeveloper response
posted 8 months agoThank you, Sivana. I think that what you're looking for is to create aa search query string where the search terms may be in the middle of the string. The search query string is the generic url you would use to perform a search. Search query strings may contain the parameters %s or {searchTerms} where you'd like your search terms to appear, i.e. the selected text. If you need more help, feel free to email me with the address of the website you need a search query string for. - Rated 5 out of 5by hunter, a year agoMust have!
One small issue though:
The icon in address-bar is shown even if website is already in the search list.

EDIT: Excellent news! Thanks for the hard work!Developer response
posted 8 months agoThanks, hunter! The Page action icon should now only appear when an opensearch plugin is available from the website you're visiting. It makes it easier to add a search engine. I'll see if I can further improve things so that the icon is hidden if the search engine has already been added. Please bare with me. - Rated 5 out of 5by Zesko, a year ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Pete, a year agoQuite good add-on. It needs some initial configuration (basically, exclude unwanted engines, add some others et.c.), after which it works well.
PS. `Google Translate` settings seems to be broken, easily fixable though.
Edit (2022-02-04) It'd be interesting (I would say necessary for keep using this addon) to have a response/explanation on that (valid) objection: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/contextual-search/reviews/1798721/ - Rated 1 out of 5by z0so, 2 years ago
