Rated 5 out of 5
by reza, 7 years agogreat ideas but poor implementation.
when I enable this addon, and then do any bookmark operation my memory usage goes as high as my max RAM.
and bookmark operation becomes very slow. so for example if I copy 400 bookmark from one folder to another folder, the memory usage goes very high and bokkmarks get copied almost one by one and very slowly.
I think this is because I use the feature that uses search engines from bookmarks and the addon searches bookmarks every time a bookmark changes, which is a very bad and time consuming implementation.
the addon should have an option (or a button) to load from bookmark only once, and not monitor bookmarks.
UPDATE:
fixed in new version.
thanks for fast reply.
I already went with another addon though.
because every time I open the menu with right click the icons of my search engines are loaded through internet one by one as if there is no such thing as caching. either have an option to disable icons or cache them or give custom icon support that are not internet dependent.
2nd UPDATE:
thanks for the reply.
I changed my rating of your addon just because you give fast replies :).
if I remember correctly in earlier version of firefox I had addons that you could give '.ico' files as icons.
I think firefox new system has limitation for file storage on profile so you cant easily save icon files and use them but maybe that 'unlimited storage' can be used somehow as a workaround to store icons.
If it is not obvious I am not a developer so I take your work for it.
and thanks again.

Developer response
posted 7 years agoUPDATE: There is no way for the add-ons to cache an internet icon as far as I know. Please let me know if you saw that implemented somewhere.
Possible solutions are:
1. You can download the icons on your computer and in the Add-on Options page specify the local icon file address for each row. The local address should be specified like "file:///C:/icons/myicon.ico". The standard icon address on the internet is http://www.(DOMAIN).com/favicon.ico . So for google it is http://www.google.com/favicon.ico
2. I can supply some icons with the extension. But this will not cover all the websites.
3. I will implement the "Disabled icon" option as you suggested.
Please let me know if you have other solutions or suggestions.
Thank you for the bug reporting.
The issue is fixed now in v5.18.
There is no need for an extra option.

と言う感じにすると良いそうです - Rated 2 out of 5by kelendral, 3 years agoThis was/is one of the better search addons.
So you might ask why the low review:
1). It was delisted from Google for Privacy Violations. Thus clearly there are Privacy concerns.
2). The code is obfuscated. - Rated 2 out of 5by rediffusion, 3 years agoНет возможно выборочного поиска на нескольких сайтах одновременно. Нет папок и подпапок.
Фигня! 😒 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12799010, 3 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by kkjiang, 3 years agoThe Favicon of each search engine is not "cached" to disk drive, they must to be re-downloaded after every firefox restart, it will be better if these favicons been cached.

- Rated 5 out of 5by wvxwxvw, 4 years agoВсе работает, кроме автокопирования в буфер и никакие настройки не слетают. Упоминаемое ниже расширение даже рядом не валялось с этим аддоном, так как добавляет свой пункт только для выделенного текста, а в этом раздельные подменю для разных контекстов - картинка, фрейм, вкладка, страница, ссылка. Например можно передать адрес картинки для поиска по изображению или адрес сайта/ссылки для для открытия в Google Trnslate, или получения информации о сайте/домене и т.п. Аддон обновлялся два года назад, но даже сейчас он способен добавлять свои пункты в контекстное меню вкладок, в том числе и вкладок TST.

- Rated 1 out of 5by sgdl-pers, 4 years agoPreviously this addon worked fine, now though not a single option provided by default works, nor do those I've created myself. Do not waste time downloading.
