- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14283918, 6 bliain ó shinGreat addon and very helpful! Thank you for the good work.
- Rated 5 out of 5by quaz3, 6 bliain ó shinI was looking for a replacement for Fastest Search, compatible with Quantum. This is lacking most functionalities of Fastest Search, but hey - room to grow. At the moment I can't even get the icon box to appear reliably :(
My first few suggestions of easily several hundred ;)
- Please fix the icon box, that either it appears OR the context menu. Or let them both appear side by side. You could make all this optional.
- Display the icon box in the configuration menu.
- Keyword search without "cs" would be nice.
- There should be unlimited multi searches. A multi search should be one new search engine line, with its own keyword, and several keywords as its URL - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14271876, 6 bliain ó shin

- Rated 4 out of 5by doogle11, 6 bliain ó shinWorks pretty well for the most part. The feature I'd like to use the most is the JSON import, however, it doesn't seem to do anything when I load the JSON file from the FF profile folder. Am I doing something wrong? Running this on Mac High Sierra
Developer response
posted 6 bliain ó shinI'm not sure which JSON you're using. I'd recommend exporting, i.e. downloading, the JSON file from the extension's preferences page. Then you can keep it as a backup and upload it (also from the extension's preferences page) whenever you wish. There's no need to mingle with files in your ffx profile folder. Hope this helps! - Rated 5 out of 5by maxelo, 6 bliain ó shin

- Rated 4 out of 5by AtsmonY, 6 bliain ó shinI like your extension, and it is great I can configure it.
One issue that happened lately is that the shortcut keys in the address bar are not caught by the extension.
for example, I defined "gg" as a shortcut to search in google.com
I use a Quantum 64bit Firefox, with address bar & search bar combined (not separated)
when I type in the bar "gg FIFA world cup", for example, I get the google search results for "gg FIFA...". That is to say that my "gg" is not interpreted as a keyword.
If you can fix it, I promise to add a star in another review.Developer response
posted 6 bliain ó shinYou need to precede "gg FIFA world cup" with "cs " so that the Context Search can identify that it is being requested. You should therefore type the following "cs gg FIFA world cup" in the url address bar. Try it out and let me know how things go. Developer response
posted 6 bliain ó shinSorry about that, Jason. It's a bug and it's been registered on github here: https://github.com/odebroqueville/contextSearch/issues/129- Rated 1 out of 5by Nicotine, 6 bliain ó shin
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14066838, 6 bliain ó shinPreferences doesnt save, if you just installed addon first time, need to restart browser. PS Sorry for 1 star.
Developer response
posted 6 bliain ó shinPreferences are currently saved to local web storage. We're working to save them to sync storage so that they'll be available across your firefox browsers. It's a lot of work. Thank you for your rating. It's very encouraging. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14100994, 6 bliain ó shin

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13030217, 6 bliain ó shinI like this extension, but when the particular version needs additional permissions I'd expect more info about reasons.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Smiling Fox, 6 bliain ó shinReally like this add-on! But I am curious, why in the last update (June 2018) does it ask for permission to download files and read and change the download manager? An explanation from the dev would be nice!
Developer response
posted 6 bliain ó shinHi and thank you for your review.
It requires that permission to be able to export your search engine configuration to searchengines.json in a reliable way. The downloads API is not used for something else.
Thank you for using Context Search! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12865058, 6 bliain ó shinLove this add-on.
It is simple and straight on, just the way I wanted it when I was searching for something just like this. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13497604, 6 bliain ó shinLove this extension - but is it possible to search for the highlighted keyword in the middle of a URL? For example can I search for "CN2566830" on Google patents by inserting it in the URL between "https://patents.google.com/patent/" and "/en" to build the full URL: https://patents.google.com/CN2566830/en
thanksDeveloper response
posted 6 bliain ó shinThank you for your kind words.
You can use {searchTerms} or %s where you want the search term to appear in the URL.
I hope you will enjoy Context Search for a long time.
