Works quickly, very customizable, just great. I needed something like this after coming over from Chrome, I was so used to the 'tab to search" and in FF not every website's search bar supports being added as a keyword.

This is easily the best context search extension I have found. Lots of options but easy to use.

I was looking for a replacement for SelectionSK. Really liked the SSS. It is possible to customize what you need. Thank you so much.

It's absolutely great, there's just one problem I have with this - the pop-up shows sometimes when clicking on a youtube video. It would be nice if it could be fixed, but still it's not that big of a problem.

Just a great extension that I use on a daily basis!

Hi Daniel. Why do you need my permission to do, read and modify downloads?

EDIT: Thanks for the answer :) changing the review.

Has promise but it only brings 4 search engines and does not explain well how to ad custom. It should add alot more for you to add like Amazon pintrest thepiratebay ect..

Read the Update below.

An excellent enhancement extension for Firefox Quantum. I use to use DictionarySearch to do the same thing but that addon had very limited functionality compared to the much more powerful SSS. However, using this with 59.0.2 doesn't allow you to Open a Search in a New Tab or Window for some reason though the options are available within SSS. A bug perhaps with the latest SSS and/or Firefox? Otherwise i would be rating this 5 stars instead of 4.

Update: changed my original rating from 4 stars to 5 stars because the developer worked with me closely in troubleshooting the issue I had and helped me resolve it. It was my own folly... I needed to change the Open New Tab behavior in the Popup behavior menu and not the Context Menu options. The extension now works perfectly. My first 5 star rating for the new age of Quantum. All hail SSS!

This is an essential extension. Very useful.

I would like to note, however, that the Youtube search icon disappeared from the pop-up. It used to work fine for a long time. All the other search engines show up fine except for Youtube for some reason.
I hope the dev will look into this issue.

UPDATE:

Thank you for trying to help.

The issue has been resolved by disabling "Fanboy Annoyances" list in the Ad blocker.

This is now a perfect extension once again.

at the moment , it seems i was looking!

Very usefull and well done - Thank you :-)

FINAL UPDATE: The problem described below has been just FIXED by Mr. Cool Developer here. It was related to the right clicking bound to my mouse gestures. If you have the same problem, just untick the new "Hide popup on right click" option. Cheers!

UPDATE: Thanks man, but I have the "Hide popup..." option deactivated since day one, and that works ONLY if I don´t leave the tab I´m doing my search from.

My problem lies whenever I go back to that original tab (after not being able to find what I´m searching for in the background tabs), so the text stays selected, but the pop-up is NOT activated, which forces me to reselect the text which is already selected for the pop-up to reappear. Pretty inconvenient, TBH.

Can´t you give us an option so the pop-up stays always open, even after we leave the original tab? (The only option I see to use the Ctrl+Shift+Space "shortcut", which is still far worse than just have it opened to begin with...)


Dear Daniel,

I already gave you a glowing review in the past, so I won´t repeat myself... ;)

However, there´s just ONE problem with your addon that keeps bugging me time and again: I use the pop-up menu to search for things, and I always open them up in the background. Many times, though, I cannot find what I´m searching for just by using the most common search-engines, so I have to go back to the original tab to try different ones, where I ONLY have the original text selected, NOT the pop-up. As such, I´m forced to either right-click and search for other alternative search engines using the scrolling menu (which is highly inconvenient, compared to the pop-up menu) or I have to manually reselect the whole text for the pop-up to reappear, which is pretty inconvenient, compared to just clicking different icons.

As such, I'd really like you to consider the possibility of giving us an option to have the pop-up menu to STAY OPEN even after we go back to the other original tab, otherwise, the whole user-friendly approach of having a pop-up menu goes down the drain whenever we have to go back to the aforementioned original tab.

Thanks!
