- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14450542, 6 years agoDoesn't seem to do anything.
There's no options button for it in the addon menu.
There's nothing in the search options.
How are you supposed to use this addon to add a search engine?
And why dafuq you don't tell us how?Developer response
posted 6 years agoI hope I made this a bit clearer now. You can also use the options button in about:addons now. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14445587, 6 years agoFor some reason, I had not seen the blue magnifying glass the first time around. This time it worked and I managed to add the search engine that other add-ons could not add properly.

posted 6 years agoThe blue magnifying glass icon should be on the right of your URL or search bar, click on that. If you have too many items you might need to click the overflow marker >>>. Otherwise please open an issue on github and describe your problem in more detail. - Rated 5 out of 5by Tulirebane, 6 years agoDoes what it says. Would be nice to have an export function too, for easy website implementation/AMO upload.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Korwin, 6 years agoFOSS. It works in Mozilla Firefox 133.0 (64-bit) under Windows 10, but you have to enter everything manually, not visually, without using the keyboard, as is implemented in similar add-ons. Some sites are incompatible with such a search due to the replacement of the space character (%20) with the “+” character.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14387649, 6 years agoCurrently broken: "TypeError: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.[Learn More]" when adding a new engine.

posted 6 years agoI assume file.io was temporary unavailable. If this problem continues please contact me via https://github.com/evilpie/add-custom-search-engine/issues/new - Rated 3 out of 5by Toxip, 6 years agoDoes what needs to do pretty well except it doesn't support POST method for search engines like startpage.com for example.

posted 6 years agoI actually had this planned for a while. I uploaded a new version that supports this. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13317020, 7 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by KT, 7 years agoWorks exactly like I want! So flawless! I am picky because so many add-ons I have tried did not work as smoothly as I had hoped. This did the steps perfectly even though I was doubtful at first. Thanks Tom!
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14311006, 7 years agoUses external service file.io
I expected this to work completely offline, but it uses external service, which does have its own Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy, by the way. Just read the source code of the addon, and T&C with PP of file.io to see if you're OK with that before using this addon.Developer response
posted 7 years agoSadly there is no other way to get Firefox to accept a custom search engine, unless it's hosted on a HTTP/HTTPs website. I thought it was already quite obvious that the extension uses file.io, but I am working on making this even more obvious. - Rated 5 out of 5by U.C., 7 years agoSo cool!
I thank you in (almost) all languages of the world.

:-) - Rated 5 out of 5by 🌱 𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙚『ジュソレ』✊, 7 years agoGreat. It coud be useful to have a contextual menu with right clic on the search box of the websites to add it more easely to the custom search engine. Have you thought to do it?
- Rated 5 out of 5by thecodercody, 7 years agoTHIS IS PERFECT! This is the ONLY thing keeping me from switching to Firefox from Chrome, and I wasn't able to find it a week ago. Now, it is here, and it works just as well as Chrome. I can type my keyword, then hit the spacebar, and suddenly I'm searching in my Google Custom Search Engine.
FANTASTIC WORK, MR SCHUSTER! - Rated 4 out of 5by RedSkin, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by decembre, 7 years agoSeems very useful...
Just a problem (solved by last update: thanks):
With Waterfox , the addon icon is not visible (just an empty square)
In Firefox Quantum, that's fine.
