על אודות הרחבה זו

Multi Engine Search is allows you to quickly search using multiple search engines selected from a popup interface. It offers customization options for adding, editing, and organizing your favorite search engines.

Features

Quick Search Popup: Access your search engines via a browser action (toolbar icon).
Engine Selection: Select multiple search engines using checkboxes.
Categorized Engines: Organize search engines into categories (e.g., Dictionary, Shopping, Developer Tools).
Category Expansion/Collapse: Show or hide engines within a category by clicking the category header.
Search Options:
- Search using all engines in a category.
- Search using only the checked engines in a category.
- Search using a single specific engine.
Pre-fill Search Term: Automatically populates the search input with selected text from the active tab when the popup opens.
Character Encoding Specification: Allows specifying character encodings (e.g., UTF-8, Shift_JIS, EUC-JP) for search engines. Non-UTF-8 encodings are processed using the encoding.js library. If an encoding is unsupported by the library or an error occurs during conversion, the process defaults to UTF-8 encoding.
Space Handling Options: Configurable space handling (Default %20, +).
Context Menu Integration: Adds checked search engines to the context menu for quick searching of selected text.
Customizable Engine List:
- Add new search engines and categories.
- Edit existing engine details (Name, URL, Encoding, Space Handling).
- Delete engines and categories.
- Reorder categories and engines within categories using Drag & Drop.
Import/Export: Backup and share your search engine configurations via JSON import/export.
Reset to Defaults: Option to reset the search engine list to the initial default set.
Default Settings: Option to collapse categories by default in the popup.
Keyboard Shortcut: Open the popup using a keyboard shortcut (Default: Ctrl+Shift+9, customizable in Firefox Add-ons manager).
Theme Support: Automatically adapts to your system's light or dark theme for the popup and options page.
Configurable Context Menu: Option to disable context menu integration if not needed.

Important Considerations

Searching with Many Engines: While this extension allows you to select and search with a large number of engines simultaneously (tests have been conducted with up to 20 engines at once), please be mindful of the potential impact.
- Performance: Opening a very large number of tabs at once can consume significant browser and system resources (CPU, RAM), potentially leading to slower browser performance or responsiveness.
- Rate Limiting: Some search engines may have rate limits that could be triggered by numerous rapid search requests originating from a single IP address. This could temporarily restrict your access to those specific search engines.
  It's generally recommended to select a reasonable number of engines pertinent to your current search needs for an optimal experience.
