I've used many, many different extensions in several different browsers over many years. (I'm an experienced web developer, starting when the web was first invented, and can code several different web languages -- in other words, I'm not a newbie.)

ContextSearch web-ext has the most complicated, buggy preferences interface I've ever seen in a browser extension. I have it running in both Firefox and Chrome, and when it works it's great -- but trying to customize it, add search engines, etc. is a nightmare.

Currently one of the engines in my ContextSearch list is "Google Maps". It works fine in Firefox, but doesn't work at all in Chrome, just leads to a blank page. So I tried exporting it from Firefox into Chrome. Forget it! The export/import features in the extension's customization interface appears to just export the URL for the icon, not for the search engine itself? And some of the gazillion preferences-interface elements for this extension, in both browsers, appear as just solid gray blocks -- regardless of what theme I use, or whether Dark Reader is on or off, or what other interface options I choose for ContextSearch itself. Of the options (including links) that I can see clearly, most of them don't do anything like what their name implies or what I'd expect them to do.

I haven't given up on it because, for the engines I finally get working, it's very useful. But I spend more time wrestling with this interface than with all my other (many) installed extensions put together!

For me one of the best addons here!

Great add-on

Lacks the option to "Close menu on right click"

This has very quickly become one of the essential extensions that I need to have installed on each of my devices’ web browsers. Adding search engines to use in conjunction with Firefox’s search shortcut keywords as well as being able to insert bookmarklets into the quick menu have been absolute game changers.

(Edit) solved thanks

Versions after May no longer work. I would like to downgrade to an earlier version but can't find it.

Love this add-on and use it all the time, but as of today 16-May-2023 (same date as last updated), it no longer works. Clicking on the icon in the overflow toolbar does nothing. I hope this can be fixed soon.

Edit: Thank you for responding. I've reported the issue on Github, as requested. I'm happy to try debugging advice (I'm in Australia, so probably a time difference).

Edit 2: Well I thought I'd fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling it, but when I logged into my laptop today, it wasn't working again.

更新及时，功能强大

Best add-on I have, can't work without it.

The best of all its kind.

This is the best search tool I've ever used, but the context menu often disappears. I'm using Win10, Firefox 108.0.1. I've tried reinstalling it, but it doesn't work.

This actually works with any website that has a search bar - as far as I can tell.

IMO this is far better than any other 'context' search extension as all the rest are limited.

功能强大

What happened to the domain search engine, it just disappeared into thin air and disappears again if I import an older backup??? Hope this can be resolved because I use it quit often.

I do really love this highly adjustable search bubble, thank you for that!

PS I figured it out, had to add a new engine with:
https://www.google.com/search?q=site:{subdomain} {searchTerms}

This is a well made extension. awesome config menu.
