- Rated 5 out of 5by Some Guy, 3 years agoThis elegantly robust--yet efficient--extension solved instantly what I had struggled to accomplish for years. This instantly adds any site to your list of available search engines, accessible through the search bar. Thank you, Soufiane Sakhi, for your excellent programming and beneficial creation!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Bob, 3 years agoEnabled me to get Google UK to come up on new tabs (FF96.0.3), which in turn allows me to select country>UK each time I do a Google search in a new tab, which I was not able to do with the default Firefox new tab - which went to Google (.com) and no option to filter for UK sites. Took a bit of fiddling about to get the search URL term syntax right, but that was before I saw the example in Screenshots. Reminder to remove the Search Engine Helper after use (large blue 'Remove' button in the title box). Many thanks. (Afterthought, I have since found an alternative FF add-on in this series which was last updated in 2020, but looks as though it may be simpler to install, but limited to getting Google.co.uk onto the list of available search engines: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/google-uk-search/)

- Rated 5 out of 5by circcc, 4 years agoIn FF83 beta8, when I select search.json.mozlz4 file in "Export all search engines to a json file" menu, "The selected search.json.mozlz4 file is not valid" error message is displayed. mozlz4-edit extension don't have this problem, it works well, so it is not my search.json.mozlz4 problem.
Edit: bug fixed. thanksDeveloper response
posted 4 years agoYou are very welcome, and thanks for the heads-up! If you wish, you can also open issues directly in the github page: https://github.com/soufianesakhi/firefox-search-engines-helper/issues so that I respond to it more quickly :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Nikita, 4 years agoDoesn't work anymore in Firefox 82.0.2
When adding a search engine, a dialog box shows up with following error:
Firefox could not install the search engine from: https:// file.io / ZUvgReF1ioWH
File.io file is an xml file with HTML for the search engine.
---------------------
EDIT: Developer already fixed this issue. I was worried this extension was dead as well. Thanks. :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13484099, 4 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12938934, 5 years agoGreat! As if it can set the keyword when adding search engines, it will be greater!

posted 4 years agoSadly the keyword can't be specified when adding search engines because it's not supported by the OpenSearch description format. It's more a user-defined browser configuration. You can however export/import search engines with their keywords offline starting from v3.1.0. - Rated 5 out of 5by Vedun, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Yosik, 5 years agoVery nice, this addon helped me add SearX as a search engine. But I have a small bug: I cant paste urls into entry box from the Xorg primary clipboard.
