    Please update the extension to work also on website that use the symbol "-" instead of "+" between words. Example "manchester-city" and not "manchester+city"

    页面搜索框的检测并不灵敏，很多时候是手动添加。

    I used to use "add to search bar", it only need a right click on the search box, it was much more easier.

    Could you please tell me how to add a search engine using payload of JSON or XML format?

    I am not sure what this means. You can see the documentation at: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/OpenSearch. "application/x-suggestions+json" can be used for suggestions when entering you search query. In general we can only support what Firefox supports.

    Does what needs to do pretty well except it doesn't support POST method for search engines like startpage.com for example.

    I actually had this planned for a while. I uploaded a new version that supports this.

    Works exactly like I want! So flawless! I am picky because so many add-ons I have tried did not work as smoothly as I had hoped. This did the steps perfectly even though I was doubtful at first. Thanks Tom!

    Uses external service file.io
    I expected this to work completely offline, but it uses external service, which does have its own Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy, by the way. Just read the source code of the addon, and T&C with PP of file.io to see if you're OK with that before using this addon.

    Sadly there is no other way to get Firefox to accept a custom search engine, unless it's hosted on a HTTP/HTTPs website. I thought it was already quite obvious that the extension uses file.io, but I am working on making this even more obvious.
