- Rated 1 out of 5by roodley, 4 years agoNot working as intended. When I manually enter a search engine and press "Add custom search engine" I get sent to the "Adding a new search engine via the URL bar" page, showing how to add a search engine with the 3 dot menu, but the option in the 3 dot menu never appears for the sites im trying to add. I'd like an option for the manual input to not take me to the 3 dot instruction screen.
Will update rating when this is resolved because this app is really vital for me.Developer response
posted 4 years agoIf you open an issue on https://github.com/evilpie/add-custom-search-engine/issues with the Open SearchXML preview (under advanced options) I might be able to help you.
The option in the 3 dot menu might not appear if you already have a search engine with the same name installed! - Rated 3 out of 5by 界安, 4 years agoI used to use "add to search bar", it only need a right click on the search box, it was much more easier.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Nibinaear, 4 years agoI literally don't know how to use this anymore, I used the form but nothing happened. Then a page was shown to add the search using the 3 dots but then all my customizations were lost and the search did not work. Instead of getting a wikipedia search all I got was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test every time. How do you use this thing now?

Apparently Mozilla is depreciating Opensearch XML addon support? That's dumb.

Found this extension and it does the job of creating custom search bar options perfectly. Highly recommended! - Rated 5 out of 5by LukeStanley, 5 years agoIt's a shame Firefox no longer lets me add DuckDuckGo UK (I used to be able to search on here and add it just fine), but this extension helped me. Mozilla Firefox has really dropped the ball here. Well done Tom Schuster for enabling a customisable work around.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Hazon, 5 years agoDoesn't work on Firefox 78+ and had to use "Add Search Engine from Mycroft Project" instead.
Edit: Works now, thanks for prompt fix.Developer response
posted 5 years agoI just updated the extension to work with Firefox 78+. Sadly Mozilla broke the previous better approach. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14041421, 5 years agotks, working perfect for searching product on marketplace

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ian Z, 5 years agoThink back to the days before rolling releases and remember the simpler times. Times when you could add any site to your search bar in a single click. Those were good times. This gives you a dose of that sweet nostalgia of having a powerful URL bar, but with the added fun of being able to customize the handling a wee bit more by yourself. I hope some day we'll even get to a point where we can set keywords ourselves.
