    Icons 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:

    Thank you for the tip.
    The API was updated and the icons are allowed now. I uploaded version 1.10 supporting icons.

    I 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

    I added the sync feature on my to-do list. I never used sync and didn't thought about it.

    Great! 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 :)

    1. 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?

    Very 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.

    Update: [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 :)

    Pretty 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.

    I 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.
