- Оценено на 5 из 5от 玄清介, 7 лет назадon Firefox 57 beta, cannot export settings
can you fix it?
edit:
setting export is ok on version 1.12, fx 57 beta 6Ответ разработчика
размещено 7 лет назадI have just tested the export/import in Firefox 57 and I could not find any problem. I also added a website with Chinese characters in the domain name and it worked. Maybe the problem appears only under certain circumstances? Please let me know if you find a clue. - Оценено на 5 из 5от streetwolf, 7 лет назадIcons can be gotten. I asked the same thing of another search context menu developer and he found a way to do it. Check his add-on here:

размещено 7 лет назадThank you for the tip.
The API was updated and the icons are allowed now. I uploaded version 1.10 supporting icons. - Оценено на 5 из 5от Пользователь Firefox 12681164, 7 лет назадI replaced my old not correctly working context search plugin with this one and have no problems. The only thing I would kike to see as an improvement would be syncing the search sites list thru Firefox Sync
Ответ разработчика
размещено 7 лет назадI added the sync feature on my to-do list. I never used sync and didn't thought about it. - Оценено на 1 из 5от MS_TO, 7 лет назадThis is an obviously useful add-on. I used to use "Context Search" but it is not being maintained and will be incompatible with FF 57+ so must find a replacement. "Selection Context Search" seems the best option but it needlessly complicates the method for adding search engines. FF already has a method for adding search engines via mycroftproject.com. I have a large set of search plugins that I have already curated and it would be daunting task to do this over again, especially by the method implemented in for this add-on.
Selection Context Search requires me to know the URL path for the search engine and gives me no hints as to how to find this info. Whereas, Context Search just used the already installed search plugins from MyCroft. And it is not even clear to me how I would add a search engine to Selection Context Search.
Why implement an entirely different and far less user friendly method of adding search engines when you can just use the search plugins that the user has already installed?
I hope the developer of this plugin will update this extension to use the existing search plugins. That is how it should work, logically. There is no need or value in implementing any other method of adding search engines. In fact, it detracts from the usability of the extension.Ответ разработчика
размещено 7 лет назадThis add-on is not what you need. Some people have different needs than you.
I, for example, need a list of custom queries on the same website. Just a few parameters of the query are different. Also I need to quickly add or modify these search queries.
I your opinion, I should go on Mycroft and create about 20 plugins, all mostly identical. Then download them. Then every few days add a new plugin there or modify one of my plugins? So which solution is friendlier for the people with the same needs as me? This add-on or Mycroft?
Your review is like someone rating negatively all the trucks because he doesn't need a truck.
Edit: If really there is no add-on using the Mycroft plugins then I could create a separate add-on to use them. - Оценено на 1 из 5от Пользователь Firefox 10244801, 7 лет назадI can't edit anything in add-on options page. I click but nothing happens.
Ответ разработчика
размещено 7 лет назадThe way I access the options is not working in private mode. I guess you went to the Options page in a private window. Is that right? At least the new version will warn the users about this limitation. - Оценено на 5 из 5от Teko, 7 лет назадGreat! It works very well...
1) Adding an option for "current site search" using google, would be much better.
2) If Possible, why don't you make the menu entry itself acts like a search engine!
I mean searching (using default SE/Google) by clicking the main entry " Find {selected} using..." itself.
Thanks :)Ответ разработчика
размещено 7 лет назад1. Can you give me an example? Is it like the following scenario?
Let say you are on Twitter, then select "cappuccino", then search "cappuccino" on Twitter using Google. And the result should be this: "https://www.google.com/search?q=site:twitter.com+cappuccino"
2. I implemented another add-on as a test "Selection Context Search - mini #1". This will add just one search engine in the context menu. Is this what are you looking for? - Оценено на 5 из 5от Пользователь Firefox 13250199, 7 лет назадVery good addon, thanks.
Can you add those features below?
[1] Add a context menu "Add to Selection Context Search" when we right-click inside a search form.
[2] Improve the management of the search engine list. Now, if we have a lot of search engines and need to change the row position of one search engine far below on the list, we need scroll all the way down, select the search engine, then scroll all the way up, then click "move up" to change the row position. With few search engines, that is ok, but with a huge amount, that is not good.

An example? Right here, on AMO. With the "Selection Search" [1] extension for Google Chrome, if I Ctrl+Alt+Click the search form a popup appears [2].
I like the drag-and-drop method [3] used by the "Selection Search" extension, it really is very easy to manage this way.
My list right now has 32 search engines, the less used ones are hidden inside folders.

размещено 7 лет назадUpdate: [1] and [2] are implemented in the new version which is in the review queue.
[1] Can you give me an example? A web page which you would like to add it using the context menu.
Most form requests are dynamically built by scripts and also are sent as a POST request. This means that it is quite complex to automatically extract the search URL.
A solution will be to add the website from the results page, not from the request (form) page. I can add the page title and URL automatically to the table but they will need to be manually edited. Is this fine for you?
[2] Can you please suggest how to improve the list management? Maybe implementing drag-and-drop for the table rows?
You made me curious. What is the maximum number of rows some people will actually need? I thought that my 15 rows list is big :) - Оценено на 5 из 5от Пользователь Firefox 12402356, 7 лет назадPretty decent replacement for Context Search X, however, I'd be nice if you could add the option to show certain search engines directly under the context menu instead of always having to use a submenu.
Changed rating to reflect dev comment, thanks.Ответ разработчика
размещено 7 лет назадI would like too to implement this but the new add-on model is more restrictive and doesn't allow more then one context menu.
The old add-ons with multiple context menus will stop working in a few months, starting with Firefox 57.
Can you please change the 4/5 rating as the feature you wish for cannot be implemented.
Please let me know if you would like some features implemented.
