- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15037318, 5 years ago06/09/2020: TO THE DEVELOPER DANIEL LOBO (FEATURE REQUEST):
Could you add a feature where I could open a set of searches that are within two separators? As I usually group similar searches between two separators. Thanks.
A huge time saver addon to do many searches very quickly to google maps, youtube, google translate, and many more.
You can even add any site to search if you want.
AMAZING ADDON!
A tip on creating and adding your own custom searches by doing a search on a site that you are interested in. Do the search on the site you want with a keyword of your choice and then replace this keyword with {searchTerms}
Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search={searchTerms}
This way, there are many sites where you can easily create your own custom searches and add them to the ones you already have available by default with this great addon Swift Selection Search.
Many thanks to the developer for this addon.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Tilo, 5 years agoDas ist mal wirklich hilfreiches Addon. Vor allem, das man die zu verwendeten Seiten selbst anpassen kann. Ich nutze es schon einige Zeit und kann nichts negatives dazu sagen. Danke!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Aquila, 6 years agoExpansion can be and good, BUT it is necessary to add search plug-ins manually, it is a lot of unnecessary settings, and here in the Selection Context Search expansion everything is established automatically https://b.radikal.ru/b30/1907/9a/c048b4a524c8.jpg
P.S. Dear Daniel, if you have time and an opportunity create here such plug-in to the addition, (that "SEARCH" automatic was added on any websites, as on a screenshot) then it the price will not be.
Good luck! https://c.radikal.ru/c08/1907/19/4d077a9e4aea.jpgDeveloper response
posted 6 years agoHi there and thanks for the review! :)
I understand, but it's hard for me to maintain a decent list of search engines up to date for SSS's users, so I prefer if people add their own engines. You can also import the ones you use in the browser. People suggested creating a webpage where users could add the engines they are using, like a Wiki, though that would also have to be moderated and it's really hard to do that in my free time.
Regarding the unnecessary settings, I also don't use most of the options, but almost all were user-suggested via email, GitHub or in reviews, so someone is finding them useful. ;) If you have ideas about what to do about them without removing them, I accept feedback!
Cheers,

- Rated 5 out of 5by Pete, 6 years agoDespite the fact the title introduces a small factor of ambiguity about what is actually doing, this add-on is really GREAT!
It offers the absolutely necessary functionality and flexibility, which, probably, ought to be available in Firefox, just "out of the box".
Excellent work. Thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5by All Darkness, 6 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Renerelire, 6 years agoVery useful extension! I use it all the time for almost everything I search. I can search in Ebay and have the results classified by prices and by sells only. Same thing for Amazon.

posted 6 years agoHi and thanks for the review! :)
A few hours ago, after reading your review, I was checking out how VirusTotal worked and saw that it did some "double" encoding of the search in a way that was very cumbersome to reproduce in SSS, even using replacements in searchTerms.
So I decided to add a new function that mimics the usual URL encoding, which it seems to be using.
SSS version 3.33.0 is currently in review. It will possibly take a few days for Mozilla reviewers to take a look at it, but when it arrives you should be able to use this for VirusTotal:
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/search/{searchTerms(encodeURIComponent)}
NOTE: this does not work yet, only when version 3.33.0 is available.
Cheers!
Daniel- Rated 5 out of 5by Discovery, 6 years agoOne of the most helpful and reliable extensions for Firefox. It's simple and highly customizable. I recommend it to all. Five stars!

Developer response
posted 6 years agoHello!
It should indeed disappear. :) Can you please try it with all other addons disabled? It could be a bug, but since it's working for me and there were no other reports of this problem, I would like to rule out interference from other addons first.
Please let me know at daniel.rb.lobo+sss@gmail.com if the problem persists (notifications in the reviews can be weird).
Cheers,
