by Dave Fox, 8 years agoThanks for this. I've been concerned about QuickSearch disappearing, and this seems to solve it.
I didn't see it in the notes, but if you've already set up QuickSearch, you can simply copy and paste the bookmarks from the Quick Search folder to the Searches folder, and everything seems to work.
With QuickSearch, if you right-clicked with nothing selected, it checked for text in the paste buffer and, if found, offered to search for that text. It's pretty handy, and it would be nice if you could add that.

posted 8 years agoThanks for the suggestion! I plan to add some functionality to expand the use beyond selected text. However to not break current functionality bug 1215376 needs to be resolved. Stay tuned!

- Rated 4 out of 5by DPierce, 5 years agoLove this extension, but... my one criticism would be that I wish they'd update the icon in the context menu drop-down so I could see/find it easier. The little magnifying glass is to bland and doesn't stick out enough for me. I really wish I could make it yellow or another icon so I could differentiate it from all my other add-ins more easily.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15998697, 5 years agoI have the same issue as 2nd comment below mine. Favicons keep disappearing when I want to search selected test with this addon. When I e.g open options in Firefox and than want to use this addon again everything is ok.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15573474, 5 years agoVery good, and easy to add new search engines and manage them. The only problem I have is the favicons keep disappearing. It looks like they are not stored locally and have to be downloaded every time you open the browser. Is it so?

- Rated 5 out of 5by Michael Kirk, 5 years agoPerfect! The simplest solution is the best. I've tried other context search addons before and one very popular one crashed my browser every session. This addon is the best.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12376444, 5 years ago1. Иконка YouTube и Google Переводчика не отображается в контекстном меню время от времени;
2. Можете пожалуйста добавить опцию для показа поисковых систем без скрытия в подменю, просто в контекстном меню?
English:
1. The YouTube and Google Translate icon is not displayed in context menu from time to time;
2. Can you please add an option to show search engines without submenu, just in the context menu?
This extension helps me everyday! Thanks!
Каждый день это расширение помогает мне! Спасибо! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15291916, 5 years agoIt didn't even try to import the search engines already available in my search box.
