- Rated 5 out of 5by bwaldron, 6 years agoWas great when it worked. Nowadays, I get an error each time I try to add a new search engine: "Firefox could not download the search plugin from:
https://file.io/XXXXXX". I have switched to the "Search Engines Helper" which also uses file.io, but works fine on my system.
UPDATE: in response to dev's question: I can visit that file.io page with no problem. The Search Engines Helper addon also uses file.io as yours does, but it works for me.
UPDATE 2: Note that I can actually manually access the file.io URL that the "download error" dalog gives me by entering it in the URL bar -- I see the source of the XML file. Hope that helps!
UPDATE 3: After updating to new version (1.8), all is working properly again, so I have revised my lowered rating to reflect my true opinion of this very useful add-on.Developer response
posted 6 years agoThis probably means you are getting blocked by file.io, does this https://file.io/?expires=1d say "Too many requests" ?
Edit: Can you test version 1.8? If it still doesn't work please go to https://github.com/evilpie/add-custom-search-engine/issues so I can debug this a bit easier. Thank you! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14536744, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by EarthWindAndFirefox, 6 years agoThis is the simplest and also the best extension of its kind, and the only ready-made solution for custom search engines since pre-Quantum times. The icon feature is excellent. As mentioned previously, the ability to export settings would make this even better. Thanks for this solid add-on!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14445587, 6 years agoFor some reason, I had not seen the blue magnifying glass the first time around. This time it worked and I managed to add the search engine that other add-ons could not add properly.

posted 6 years agoThe blue magnifying glass icon should be on the right of your URL or search bar, click on that. If you have too many items you might need to click the overflow marker >>>. Otherwise please open an issue on github and describe your problem in more detail. - Rated 5 out of 5by Tulirebane, 6 years agoDoes what it says. Would be nice to have an export function too, for easy website implementation/AMO upload.

:-) - Rated 5 out of 5by 🌱 𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙚『ジュソレ』✊, 7 years agoGreat. It coud be useful to have a contextual menu with right clic on the search box of the websites to add it more easely to the custom search engine. Have you thought to do it?
- Rated 5 out of 5by thecodercody, 7 years agoTHIS IS PERFECT! This is the ONLY thing keeping me from switching to Firefox from Chrome, and I wasn't able to find it a week ago. Now, it is here, and it works just as well as Chrome. I can type my keyword, then hit the spacebar, and suddenly I'm searching in my Google Custom Search Engine.
FANTASTIC WORK, MR SCHUSTER! - Rated 5 out of 5by decembre, 7 years agoSeems very useful...
Just a problem (solved by last update: thanks):
With Waterfox , the addon icon is not visible (just an empty square)
In Firefox Quantum, that's fine.
