posted 5 bliain ó shinThank you for your review. We're glad you enjoy using Context Search.- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15241320, 5 bliain ó shinIts great., however can I suggest one feature:
Would love for a few of the searches to be directly on the right click menu rather under the Context Search drop down menu. - Rated 4 out of 5by Danko, 5 bliain ó shin
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15126044, 5 bliain ó shinThis one now deletes my custom search engines whenever I open the browser, but it used to work perfectly. Hopefully, there will be a fix for this soon. I appreciate all the hard work done by the developers to make a great add-on.

- Rated 5 out of 5by GaryK, 5 bliain ó shinHi Olivier. Thanks very much for this extension and your time spent developing it. It replaces a now deprecated extension and is very valuable to me. I am having an issue with 3.72 that others have reported. Namely, when I delete a search engine the list of search engines disappears. A refresh brings it back, but this adds a lot of time to the removal process.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14782563, 5 bliain ó shinHi, v. 3.72 is broken in Waterfox win 64. it shows the menu, but it does nothing. I rolled back to 3.69 and it seems to be fine.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Getoffthisplanet, 5 bliain ó shinBeen using this add-on for about a year and other than a couple small issues it works great.
Ordering the list of search engines is a little tedious.
I can't say I'm happy with the exif reader in 3.72, I'd like to have an option to remove it.Developer response
posted 5 bliain ó shinContext Search Lite has been released. It's the same as Context Search but without added functionalities such as the Exif Viewer. https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/context-search-lite/ - Rated 5 out of 5by ardi21, 5 bliain ó shinIt's a very usefull add-on but the last update broke it. The context menu dissapeared from right-click options...

Thank you for your kind support, understanding and patience. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13300061, 5 bliain ó shinUnfortunately, the add-on v 3.71 has stopped working again, the context menu was gone. I am very upset!
Old versions of FF has crashed at start!
Today It hasn't been worked. Then I have REinstalled (latest) firefox. I previously saved the file of my own search engines (synchronized with my firefox account for lovely addons, saved my browser bookmarks - it did not need to be restored). It has been start working. :) But I have lost S3.Translator. This addon required own reactivation solutions.
Now I using only old version 3.69 which available right-here.Developer response

Can't wait for the fix. Excellent addon otherwise, one that I can't live without. Kudos to the dev.
EDIT:
Thanks to the dev for a swift response and update. Works perfectly now.Developer response

EDIT: Well, I can export json file but when I import json file, only have "undefined" search engines.Developer response
posted 5 bliain ó shinHi Alan, Thanks for your review. You first need to backup your search engines by exporting them. That'll generate the .json file you can later import if ever you should lose your list of favourite search engines. Let me know if you have any other questions. - Rated 5 out of 5by hermann-san, 5 bliain ó shin

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14361362, 5 bliain ó shinThank you for your great addon!
I would like to make the following two suggestions:
1. An additional option for appearing results “In the sidebar” (in the “Where should search results appear?” setting).
Similar application: On “Quick dictionary” and “Search in Sidebar” addons.
2. Direct Right-click or Shift-click on single words (without a selection precondition).
Similar application: On the (now deprecated) “Wiktionary and Google Translate” addon.
An excellent feature in terms of speed, that works even by clicking on youtube onscreen subtitles’ words (which anyway can’t be selected).Developer response
posted 5 bliain ó shinHi and thank you for your review. I especially like your first idea.. I'm working on it but I'm afraid not all search engines will work in the sidebar because they don't all accept HTTP requests. I had issues with DuckDuckGo, namely. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14669111, 5 bliain ó shin
- Rated 3 out of 5by chaoscreater, 5 bliain ó shinWorks, but doesn't account for scenarios where there may be additional search strings after the "=" operator.
Other search engines would use a variable or something in place of the search query, e.g. %s represents the search term. You could place %s anywhere in the search URL.Developer response
posted 5 bliain ó shinAs stated in the description under point 5: "The checkbox is followed by the search query string. This 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."
