Swift Selection Search por Daniel Lobo
Análise por mimteatr
It's really a great add on but the only problem is that if I add a new search engine to the main search engine of browser (because that's the only way to add it, I don't know the specific search address ) this add on doesn't automatically add it to it, I have to reset all, and add again the .json file, that's really annoying :(
I'll give you a 5th star if you can tweak it to automatically accept new search engines added to the browser. Thanks!

Hey Daniel, thanks for your quick answer. I understand perfectly the limitations for developers now, and your solution is perfectly reasonable and logical, will use it, thanks again and added the 5th star :)

Hi Daniel,
1. It works but it resets the order of SE, so I have to move them up/bottom all over again.
2. When Selecting a word on the very bottom of the page, the icons group still appears at the bottom thus hiding a great part of it, instead of showing above it.

Hey Maurice, thanks for understanding! :) Regarding the two points:
In the case of point 1, if you do not delete your imported engines and just try importing again, SSS should keep your engine's order. At least it's doing that for me. :) It should only create a new engine if it doesn't find one with the same search URL already, and it shouldn't touch your ordering. If you are able to tell me how to reproduce this problem I would be grateful.
As for point 2, what are you using as the "Popup location" option under "Popup Behaviour"? The option to place the popup at the bottom left corner of the selection can behave strangely on some websites, because some pages' footer can cause you to select more than what is visible. If you are using "At cursor location" it should always appear above your cursor (but clamped to the top of the page). That said, this might be some SSS problem as well. :)

Hi! SSS actually did this before Firefox 57. :) Unfortunately, now it can't!
There's currently no way for WebExtension addons to look at your search engines, that's why I had to work around that problem by requesting the file from the user. These links on bugzilla discuss this problem, but nothing was completed yet:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1352598
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1268401#c16
Sorry, but this is something I can't do currently. :(
By the way, re-importing the json file should not reset existing engines but simply add those that are not there yet. If it is resetting existing engines then it could be a bug. Could you tell me what is happening exactly?
If you add new engines to Firefox frequently and have to re-import the json file, consider leaving in SSS all imported engines, but disable those you don't use instead of removing them. :)
Cheers!

- Avaliado em 5 de 5por Leviii , há 2 mesesAmazing addon, I have bunch of search engines saved and it prevents me from routing everything through google. Also I have integrated it with everything windows search app which makes it even more useful. Currently development is stalled but it's become irreplaceable for me.
- Avaliado em 5 de 5por centurion 2000 , há 3 meses
- Avaliado em 5 de 5por mnaonmf , há 3 mesesThis extension is absolutely fantastic—the intuitive yet powerful interface, the deep customization options, and the full backup and restore features make it a joy to use. Truly impressive work. You've covered it all (except an Android version 😭 though I know there's a fork I can use instead).
- Avaliado em 1 de 5por Ugarov , há 3 meses
- Avaliado em 5 de 5por Aissa Jessus , há 4 mesesVery effect and clean. Easy and quick to setup and add new search sites and customize them.
I am currently using it heavily for cross sites search and routine custom searches.

- Avaliado em 5 de 5por RichardJT , há 6 mesesGood morning , i hope you're well. So, more default SEs nice, but easy enough to add. Sweet, sweet ride!!! Stays open when other tasks need attention; not like bill's menus.
6/5 bc this your only add-on.
7/5 bc i can't see a way to donate for your exceptional effort. C u on github, hopefully.

- Avaliado em 4 de 5por Wolf , há 8 mesesIt would be 5 stars, but gave 4 just because it is not localized. You should really add a localization feature, that would make this extension PERFECT!
