- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Antagony, 7 jierren lynGreat! Without too much effort I've got back most of the functionality of the now dead – due to Quantum's limited API – add-on that used to do this. In the end I think this bookmark method is actually easier than having to add to the installed search engines, which is one aspect of Firefox that Mozilla seem to have made unnecessarily complicated in recent years.
The only thing I would suggest is rather than adding a new 'search' item to the context menu, usurp the existing one so there aren't two. Would that be possible? - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch 160R, 7 jierren lyn
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch W4SUL, 7 jierren lynTakes a bit of work, but it works well after you do some configuration. Thank you!
If I can post a couple examples for your Searches folder, the two that I use most often:
https://www.startpage.com/do/dsearch?query=%s
http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=%s
The %s is the wildcard that is replaced with whatever you have selected on the page you are searching.
Many searches are available this way. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Raphaël, 7 jierren lynA bit awkward to use, but this is not the developer's fault. In an ideal world, it would directly use the already defined search engines in the browser, but the WebExtension API does not give access to that. This add-on offers a nice alternative.
Thank you for the great work! - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Tellima, 7 jierren lynQuesto componente aggiuntivo combina la procedura di Add to Search Bar (RIP) con la ricerca contestuale. Ogni sito con un motore di ricerca interno può essere aggiunto alla propria lista di motori posizionando il cursore all'interno del campo di ricerca e selezionando 'Aggiungi una parola chiave per questa ricerca' dal menu contestuale. Si apre una finestra di dialogo che chiede il nome x il nuovo motore, una parola chiave e la cartella di destinazione, che deve essere preventivamente creata, con il nome Searches, nel Menu Segnalibri. Da provare!

7 jierren lyn pleatstCan't say for sure what causes the problem. Please check out the FAQ at https://github.com/NumeriusNegidius/Context-Search/wiki. Hope you find your answer/workaround there. - Wurdearring: 3 fan 5troch Vinícius, 7 jierren lynGood idea! But not getting the search engines already installed is a failure. Bookmarking each search site is too much work to get it working.
I know, Iknow, it's a limitation of the webextensions API, but perhaps you/we should talk to Mozilla developers on how to make it work and correct/patch the API. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 13007505, 7 jierren lyn
- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch jdmorris, 7 jierren lynI added a "Searches" folder to bookmarks. Then highlighted a word. The extension's "Search for" line shows up in the context menu. BUT none of the search engines are displayed.

ps.
possible to move this under right position in context menu? under firefox's „search google „for””? seems like a right placeAntwurd ûntwikkeler
7 jierren lyn pleatstThank you! :)
WebExtensions are confined to the bottom of the context menu; nothing I can do about it unfortunately. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Crazyrabbit, 7 jierren lynJust what I wanted to make. Perfect !
I already had a folder with keyword searches. It's like you're in my head :P - Wurdearring: 3 fan 5troch chris p, 7 jierren lyni forgot to rename my search's folder to Searches, duh. im sure the more i use it the more ill have some suggestions. for starters, would be nice if you could use the middle click to keep the highlighted word selected and the context menu open to continue to keep running searches and opening tabs using different search sites. this is something SmartSearches could do, so this is a bit of a downgrade switching to this addon but it sure beats not having anything.

7 jierren lyn pleatstThanks for the review. Unfortunately, the WebExtensions API doesn't support different actions based on right/left/middle click in it's current form. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Mikez, 8 jierren lynProbably the best replacement for SmartSearch, but there is still room for improvement ;) For example: Is it possible to change the position of "Search for" in the context menu? I would like to have this option at the very top.

8 jierren lyn pleatstIt should work on Windows. Most of the users are on Windows. Please submit an issue on the support site!- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Ray., 8 jierren lynUsing bookmarks for search engines is more flexible and powerful.
Can you make an option to have search features popup on the page near the highlighted word?
It'll be much quicker to search and access the addon, instead of drilling down into the context menu. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Komasan, 8 jierren lynPOST method aside, I like this extension because the bookmarked searches use Firefox Sync to synchronize between computers. Search engines don't synchronize and there aren't stored anymore in a folder in the profile's folder.
For the same reason, It would be great something similar for the search bar, using the bookmarked searches organized in folders. - Wurdearring: 3 fan 5troch mitrich , 8 jierren lynAll searh engines I used are already collected in Search field. I think this extension should get search list used in browser. Making list of search engines again is not good idea.

8 jierren lyn pleatstFirstly, what you propose not possible to do as a WebExtension. Secondly, this is more powerful in that you can search almost any site that has a search engine without adding a search extension for each. Antwurd ûntwikkeler
