- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Karnaa, ੭ ਸਾਲ ਪਿਛਲੇThanks a lot of this addon.. Have been dying for this one to be present in firefox to move away from chrome. I have around 50-60 such custom search urls and this is a saviour!!
Like everybody says, hate typing ms everytime. Is it possible to customize these 2 chars also? Is it possible to reduce it to one letter and/or allow it to be customizable?
Update: https://superuser.com/a/7374/364519 - Found that all you need to do to have similar custom search urls for firefox, is to create bookmarks with %s in the place - just like in chrome!!! Would be great if this is called out in the addon, as i have been longing for the same to switch to firefox.Tiririt n ineflayen
yeffeɣ-d deg ੭ ਸਾਲ ਪਿਛਲੇThanks for the feedback. Unfortunately limitation from Firefox side does not allow dynamic customization to use any other char/text instead of "ms" (any change will impact all users).
If you want to use the Firefox native Search engine feature, please check below addon (it allows to add native search engines for custom search urls) -

I have small request if possible. I am using this app for searching car parts in many shops with multi search.
It is possible to add keyword 'all' for searchng in all defined engines? for example:
ms shop1,shop2,shop3 keyword - now I use this
ms all keyword - that would be better when using lot of search engines in multi-search mode
One more suggestion - for sure harder to make:) It is possible add column "category" to search engine definition.
sample use:
ms tires keyword - searching in multiple search engines that have in category column 'tires'
ms bearing keyword - searching in multiple search engines that have in category column 'bearings'
EDIT:
Thanks !!!
Now this add-on suits all my needs in searching web ;)
Everything working as described.Tiririt n ineflayen
yeffeɣ-d deg ੭ ਸਾਲ ਪਿਛਲੇThanks for the feedback. There is a new version which now allows searches based on 'category'.
To search using all search engines please use 'ms @ keyword'.
To search with search engines with one category use 'ms @tires keyword'.
To search with search engines in multiple categories use 'ms @tires,bearing keyword'. - Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 14064217, ੭ ਸਾਲ ਪਿਛਲੇWorks as expected! Thank you for adding this critical feature back to Firefox :)
- Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 13921066, ੭ ਸਾਲ ਪਿਛਲੇBrilliant app to add a custom search engine. Please note that as of now, you have to have every field filled out when adding a custom search engine.

yeffeɣ-d deg ੭ ਸਾਲ ਪਿਛਲੇThanks for the feedback and also thanks for pointing me to the issue.
The newer version has required fix. Blank description will not make addon ignore the preference row anymore. - Yettwasezmel 3 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 13854981, ੭ ਸਾਲ ਪਿਛਲੇ
- Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur brain8891, ੭ ਸਾਲ ਪਿਛਲੇNot working, I typed "msduck test" and nothing happend.
Edit: It worked, I didn't click "save preferences."Tiririt n ineflayen
yeffeɣ-d deg ੭ ਸਾਲ ਪਿਛਲੇHi, Please note that there should be a space after "ms" else Firefox will not trigger this add-on. Please type "ms duck test" to get the desired result.
Note:
If there are no custom search engines starting with "d" other than duckduckgo then you can simply enter "ms d test" and you'll get the same result as if you have typed "ms duck test". - Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur aloola, ੭ ਸਾਲ ਪਿਛਲੇwould be nice if you add an option for search suggestions/autocomplete search words

yeffeɣ-d deg ੭ ਸਾਲ ਪਿਛਲੇThanks for the review. I'll see what can be done regarding search/autocomplete suggestions. - Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 13594294, ੭ ਸਾਲ ਪਿਛਲੇSuper useful! I wish firefox had this built-in.
A couple suggestions:
- would it be possible to remove the "ms" prefix? (I suspect this might be a firefox limitation)
- it would be nice to also have a {searchTerm[0]}, {searchTerm[1]} etc syntax. In some cases splitting by word would be very useful.Tiririt n ineflayen
yeffeɣ-d deg ੭ ਸਾਲ ਪਿਛਲੇThanks for the feedback. Unfortunately "ms" prefix cannot be removed due to limitation from firefox. Also you should soon see new version with split search functionality.
