- 评分 1 / 5来自 Philippe Cloutier, 5 天前This severe review follows:
1. Years of usage of Context Search < 6
2. 3 weeks of usage of Context Search 6
3. A few days of usage of ContextSearch-web-ext
4. 1 person-week of contributions to contextual search extensions, mostly to this one
5. Thorough consideration.
"Upgrading" to version 6 turned a satisfied user into a dissatisfied ex-user.
The long version is available in ticket #436 of ContextSearch-web-ext’s issue tracker (titled "I wish you wouldn't copy so many features from other developer's work"). If you want to spare yourself from a ½-hour read of the gory details:
1. This extension is proprietary and developed by a single person, who calls himself a hobbyist.
2. It is unclear if that person’s distribution of this software is legal.
3. This extension brings significant value, but in exchange for important "adoption costs" (time spent installing, maintaining, configuring and mastering).
4. The 215 issue reports against this extension were just made private.
If you just thought there would be a Firefox extension for that and figured you would be up and running 10 minutes later, you will be disappointed. If you think contextual search can eventually save you 1 person-hour, then I recommend looking at these extensions first:
1. ContextSearch-web-ext
2. Swift Selection Search (essentially abandoned in 2021)
3. Context Search Origin
If none of these work or satisfy you, then consider trying this one.
Going forward, there is one big advantage this extension has over all the above though: support for WebExtensions manifest version 3. Mozilla intends to keep supporting version 2 for the foreseeable future (with an advance notice of at least 1 year), but this will probably mean that in the short term, this extension will become cross-browser (available for Chromium), unlike the above.
Update: ContextSearch-web-ext now (1.48) supports WebExtensions manifest version 3! - 评分 5 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 16063421, 1 个月前Cette extension fait partie de mes indispensables, mais bloqué depuis cette semaine. J'ai installé la 6.1.1 mais ca n'a plus rien à voir avec ce que j'avais avant, j'aurai du garder une copie avant de changer.

发布于 25 天前SVP faites une mise-à-jour à la version 6.1.3 et rapportez les problèmes encore rencontrés sur GitHub. La version 6 a pour objectif d'être également compatible avec Chrome et est basée sur le manifest v3 afin de garantir sa pérennité. Beaucoup de changements ont dû être effectués donc il y aura certainement des bogues à corriger aux débuts. Merci de ne pas m'en avoir tenu rigueur, car je travaille seul sur cette extension et les bogues prennent du temps à corriger. - i mean it works...but why can't I remove the "AI search" button at all??? Why do devs have to force AI into everything
Edit: still no way to reply on dev response here?
When I right click on any page, There's an "AI Search" on the bottom of my main context menu. I cannot remove this via any option for the extension. This is even when I right-click on images. It has this extension's icon next to it and disabling the extension removes it so I know it's from this icon. I can only assume it was an oversight to force it enabled when most other things can be disabled in the options. I've been using the old version for as long as I can remember so I really like the extension but I don't want to even see any AI stuff so I hope I can remove this somehow.开发者回应
发布于 1 个月前Hi Kougeru, I'm sorry you don't like the AI Search feature. I try to please most users and nobody is forcing you to use the AI Search feature (just ignore it)!
UPDATE: Release 6.1.4 allows you to disable AI features which should get rid of the AI Search context menu item. 开发者回应
发布于 1 个月前Hi there, would you mind reporting this issue on GitHub so that I can help you solve the problem? I would need to know which version you were updating from/to?
UPDATE: Release 6.1.4 should fix this bug. Please give it a try and let me know.开发者回应
发布于 1 个月前The icon appears only when visiting web sites that support open search and that haven't already been added to your list of search engines. I'm sorry if it's an inconvenience, but it's the easiest way that I found to add open search supported web sites. Sometime in the future I may add an option to disable this feature, but I'm also trying not to clutter the Preferences page with too many settings. Thank you for your kind review.- 评分 5 / 5来自 Kurosiewicz, 6 个月前

发布于 1 个月前Thank you. Regarding the Firefox Sidebar, sadly, there isn't much I can do. You'll have to follow this up with Mozilla: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/how-to-remove-hide-add-on-from-sidebar/140699- 评分 5 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 14314266, 1 年前For some reason this add-on AMO listing changed but it is the same old good Context Search. Five stars well deserved for functionality which makes my daily browsing much easier.

发布于 1 个月前Thank you. It's a new listing because release 6+ is a major upgrade based on manifest version 3. I was afraid that this new version might carry some important bugs because of the numerous changes.
