    The best of all its kind.

    This is the best search tool I've ever used, but the context menu often disappears. I'm using Win10, Firefox 108.0.1. I've tried reinstalling it, but it doesn't work.

    Sorry for the late reply. If you're still having issues, please edit your review and elaborate or visit the github support site and I'd be happy to look into the problem.

    This actually works with any website that has a search bar - as far as I can tell.

    IMO this is far better than any other 'context' search extension as all the rest are limited.

    What happened to the domain search engine, it just disappeared into thin air and disappears again if I import an older backup??? Hope this can be resolved because I use it quit often.

    I do really love this highly adjustable search bubble, thank you for that!

    PS I figured it out, had to add a new engine with:
    https://www.google.com/search?q=site:{subdomain} {searchTerms}

    (edit #4) 1.46.3 going up. If this doesn't solve the problem, please consider opening a new issue at the support site.

    (edit #3) One more issue to fix. The engine disappears after you move it.

    (edit #2) 1.46.2 going up. You can replace {subdomain} with {selectdomain} and get the tiled menus to display choices again.

    (edit) I'm seeing the problem. I'll get a hotfix up soon. Thanks for the heads up

    I'd be interested in trying your old config to see the engine disappear so I can correct that bug. If you you have a github account, open a new issue at the support site and I'll look into it.

    By far the most important extension. Would switch browsers for an addon like this. Not only that but the guy is awesome and very responsive on his github.

    I was impressed with the number of options this extension offers and it has always worked well. The advantages that can be listed are many, perhaps one that users may not think about is that it can also support a very large number of search engines.

    Somehow the Copy-to-Clipboard button stopped working on some websites again, while the build-in COPY context menu works fine.

    2 example links:

    Thanks. I've found the problem based on the links you provided.

    The clipboard API requires a secure HTTPS website to function. The first link you provided uses HTTPS on the main page, but not on the results page. I assume it's the same issue you're having on your local server ( no https ).

    I've added some fallback code that seems to work, but the function is long depreciated, and may stop working at some point. Fixes will be in the next release.

    Nice addon, been using it for a while but with the latest version it's missing sometimes on the context menu. This is especially true with the about:support page where I use the search to easily check for updates with installed extensions that takes me to the Firefox addon page. For now I've gone back to 1.28.1, which has been working flawlessly.

    Update:1.32a1 seems good. I'll update this again if there's any problems.

    I think this bug may have finally been tracked down, with the help of a user @ the github support site. If you're game, backup your current CS config and install the signed pre-release from here: https://github.com/ssborbis/ContextSearch-web-ext/releases/tag/v1.32a1

    It should work fine. Make sure you're on the latest version. v1.31 was a bit of a mess

    Takes some fine tuning to get the way I want it, but it's quite customizable and the developer is responsive to bug reports. Easily the best Search Extension (sorry Swift Search Selection).
  • by Boom, 4 years ago
    This is a gem indeed! After Firegestures stopped working, I thought I won't have an easy "search with" popup solution in FF ever again. But this extension did it, and added way more to it! Customization options are very powerful. Different ways of opening the menu with mouse and keyboard shortcuts effectively made it a perfect replacement for the long lost Firegestures "search selection with" option. Thank you Mike!
