To Olivier de Broqueville: ce serait super d'avoir la possibilité d'avoir dans le menu contextuel (après sélection + bouton droit) directement la possibilité de cliquer sur la recherche souhaitée (sans le menu déroulant intermédiaire). - Rated 5 out of 5by Alan, 3 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18109236, 6 months agoFantastic plug in - except that being the non coding type, I can't quite figure out how to add a search engine manually...it seems to me that when I first installed Context search some time ago, the read me/about this extension contained more specific instructions for doing thus than:
* add a search engine manually via the Options page (you can test the query string before adding the search engine) *
Obviously the search query strings are quite different for each site and I'm not sure how to locate them
Otherwise thank you so much - I prefer this extension to "ContextSearch web-ext", linked on the mycroftproject.com site...less bells and whistles, less is more ;oDeveloper response

posted 10 months agoHi, access to the clipboard is required if and when you want to copy or paste the base64 string of an icon to or from the clipboard (when you're creating a custom icon). That's the only time that access to the clipboard is needed.
UPDATE: Clipboard access is no longer required to copy/paste the base64 string of favicons. However, clipboard write access is now required to paste prompts into AI search engine web pages.- Rated 5 out of 5by Amartya, 10 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14446495, a year agoI wanted to highlight a Real Estate property address and then have multiple, local RE agencies directly open "the first hit" on Google (I used a DuckDuckGo "I'm feeling lucky" URL trick) and it works great for that doing a Multi Engine Search. I wish there was a way to have "separate" Multi-Searches, say, grouped by the "keyword" but otherwise, great work.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Kane, a year agoit's impressive but i have a problem. certain website don't make searching on its site if the keywords is more than one.. for example, 'the tree'.. the site will show empty page.. but the site only give the result if there is no empty space between the words so i have to type "the%tree".. it just wont work unless the empty space is removed.. many site have the same problem. please guide me,

posted a year agoHi Kane, If I understand correctly, you'd like to be able to use more than ONE word for a keyword. Honestly, I don't think that's very practical as a keyword should be a very short single word that is easy to remember and quick to type. Could you not use just 'tree' instead of 'the tree', or if you absolutely want to use 'the', perhaps 'the_tree'? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16555408, a year ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by djman, a year agoOne of my favourite browser extensions, use it every day and with a lot of websites. My only (very minor) complaint is that this setting doesn't work for me:-
̶"̶D̶i̶s̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶i̶c̶o̶n̶ ̶g̶r̶i̶d̶ ̶(̶A̶l̶t̶ ̶+̶ ̶C̶l̶i̶c̶k̶)̶"̶

̶(̶i̶t̶ ̶d̶i̶s̶p̶l̶a̶y̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶g̶r̶i̶d̶ ̶w̶h̶e̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶o̶r̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶e̶t̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶t̶i̶c̶k̶e̶d̶)̶
Anyway, a big THANK YOU to the developer(s). :)
edit: I should have said that the ALT-CLICK menu would be much better for me if it displayed a list rather than a grid, if it did then I wouldn't want to disable it
edit2: unticked the config, re-ticked, then it worked (could swear I tried that already but perhaps I was being a numpty)Developer response
posted a year agoSorry for the problem you're experiencing. I can't seem to reproduce the issue on my mac. Would you mind opening an issue on GitHub here: https://github.com/odebroqueville/contextSearch/issues and provide me with some info about your OS, Firefox version, CS version and detail how to reproduce the bug? I didn't quite understand how a list would be different to what is offered in the context menu. - Rated 5 out of 5by JesusTouchedMe, a year ago
