- Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Dideldum, 7 muaj më parëDefinitely the Best Search-addon. Nearly perfect.
Unfortunately the sidebar feature is not working (Firefox & Chromium).. - Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 15217831 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 3 vite më parëNot quite as polished as the screenshots would suggest. But certainly the functionality for this extension is beautiful.
*The sidebar doesn't seem to be displaying anything ... But the button for the extension is working just fine. - Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga bitelse, 5 vite më parë

hand by optionsPërgjigje zhvilluesi
postuar më 7 vite më parë(edit) Using the 'Add Custom Search' widget from the context menu is by far the easiest way to add new search engines to ContextSearch. Is there a reason you're adding engines by hand? If so, how would you suggest making it less cumbersome?
> Works, though cumbersome adding new own search engines. But he is going to embrace.
Which method of adding engines do you find cumbersome? Are you adding new engines via the context menu or by typing them in by hand in Options? - Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 12655166 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 7 vite më parëWhy search working from firefox search, but not from quick search (open main site page)?

postuar më 7 vite më parë(edit) There was an issue with 1.6.3 which prevented adding a custom search engine from the 'simple' menu. That should be fixed in 1.6.3.2.
> Why search working from firefox search, but not from quick search (open main site page)?
Are you unable to open the quick menu? The quick menu and all other content scripts are blocked on addons.mozilla.org by mozilla. If you're on linux, you might need to set ui.context_menus.after_mouseup to true in about:config
> Also can edit search engine, but can't save (auto save if is, not working)?
Are you editing from the search engine manager in ContextSearch options? There should be a Save button below the form when editing a search engine. Is that not working? - Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga syldub, 7 vite më parëPowerful and nice design, but it does not allow to add new custom search engines... (as it is impossible to add in Firefox too...). So quite useless. I prefer the extension "Context Search WebExtension" which allows custom search engines.
Edit: Thanks for your quick answer.
Actually I hide the Firefox' search text box in order to save space for all my addon icons + my bookmarks in toolbar... (It would be so great to have an additional bookmark toolbar... before I used Classic Theme Restorer which allowed it). So I can't see the green "magnifier" when Firefox detects a search engine.
On top of that, the majority of the websites I use don't have an OpenSearch compliant search box. For instance www.discogs.com.
So I find the Firefox OpenSearch standard search engine too restrictive. This is not a critic against your addon, but this is a critic to Firefox.Përgjigje zhvilluesi
postuar më 7 vite më parëSearch engines are added using the OpenSearch standard. When you visit a website and see a green circle with a + sign over the magnifying glass in the search bar in the toolbar, that indicates a website has an OpenSearch engine available to add to your Firefox search engine list (Managed from Options->Search->One Click Search Engines). Click the magnifying glass and choose Add "website". You can also visit http://mycroftproject.com/ for tons of OpenSearch templates.
(edit) I added this info to the ReadMe @ github for users unfamiliar with how Firefox handles OpenSearch engines.
(edit2) I'll look into a way of adding custom templates. I've been hesitant to implement anything like that because it would require maintaining a separate list of engines from FF's One-Click list, but it might be doable without getting too messy. Check the beta section in the coming weeks.
(edit3) v1.2.7 betas add the option 'Add Custom Search' to the right-click menu on input forms. - Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga eklenti1, 7 vite më parëInstall a tiny open-source app to keep your search engine list updated autom.
It is much better if you insert this open source plugin into itself. And if possible, when I install the plugin, pop up window is setPërgjigje zhvilluesi
postuar më 7 vite më parëOh if only it could be that simple. I could bundle the add-on with the native app, but not the other way around. Unfortunately, in order to keep the add-on hosted by Mozilla, the native app has to be separate.
(edit) I modified the native app install script (1.2.6.1+) for windows to copy the default profile path to the clipboard to make setup a bit easier - Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Nuno Leal Correia, 7 vite më parë

- Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga thuerrsch, 7 vite më parëNice replacement for the old Context Search add-on which I started to miss bitterly right after Firefox 57 came out. Something like this should REALLY be standard in Firefox.
That said, getting the add-on to work in "Automatic" mode on GNU/Linux (Ubuntu, in my case) was a bit of a hassle. The instructions on the GitHub site could be more helpful here. They put too much focus on the location of ContextSearch.json (no, DON'T put that file or anything else under /usr/lib/ or /usr/lib64/, these are to be maintained by your package manager alone) and leave more important points unmentioned.
To make a long story short, I had to do the following:
(1) Put ContextSearch.json and ContextSearch.py from the git repository into ~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/.
(2) Make ContextSearch.py executable (chmod u+x) AND convert it from CR/LF (Windows) to LF (Unix) line endings so that python can actually run the script. (I also changed the shebang to #!/usr/bin/env python).
(3) Change the path value in ContextSearch.json to the actual location of ContextSearch.py (why doesn't it just default to ContextSearch.json and ContextSearch.py being in the same directory?).
(4) Enter the path of my search.json.mozlz4 file in the add-on's preferences.
And hey not-quite-presto, everything works! Well, apart from a few details, like search engines using POST rather then GET requests not working but showing up in the context menu. All in all, a promising extension with a few rough edges.Përgjigje zhvilluesi

Can you tell me which POST engines aren't working? I'll take a look.
1.2.1b6 in the beta section fixed a bug where {searchTerms} in POST was only replaced in the form params and not if it was also included in the url params. If that was causing your issues, give the beta a try.
I've updated the readme at github to better reflect your experience setting up the python script. Let me know if there's anything else that would be helpful for other users installing the native app
(edit)
The instructions to put the .json in /usr/lib or /usr/lib64 were taken directly from the Firefox documentation for the native app API. On the chance you see this edit, would you mind opening a ticket at github and elaborating on why this incorrect?
(2) Hmm, yeah that probably should be in Unix (LF) Oops, I'll update
(3) That's what the Firefox Native Messaging API requires. Nothing I can do there.
Glad to hear you got it working. You might be the first that used the python script. Guess I'll have to keep it updated :( - Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga obsolete, 7 vite më parëFinally a WE context search addon that gets it right. Or as right as its currently possible to get it in the new, crippled Firefox. It's still not automatic, but that's a consequence of Mozilla's decision to dismantle all traces of a decent UI. Now at least we don't have to maintain two separate lists of search engines.
Thank you. - Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 远, 7 vite më parë
