Can you add those features below?
[1] Add a context menu "Add to Selection Context Search" when we right-click inside a search form.
[2] Improve the management of the search engine list. Now, if we have a lot of search engines and need to change the row position of one search engine far below on the list, we need scroll all the way down, select the search engine, then scroll all the way up, then click "move up" to change the row position. With few search engines, that is ok, but with a huge amount, that is not good.

An example? Right here, on AMO. With the "Selection Search" [1] extension for Google Chrome, if I Ctrl+Alt+Click the search form a popup appears [2].
I like the drag-and-drop method [3] used by the "Selection Search" extension, it really is very easy to manage this way.
My list right now has 32 search engines, the less used ones are hidden inside folders.

Developer response
posted 7 years agoUpdate: [1] and [2] are implemented in the new version which is in the review queue.
[1] Can you give me an example? A web page which you would like to add it using the context menu.
Most form requests are dynamically built by scripts and also are sent as a POST request. This means that it is quite complex to automatically extract the search URL.
A solution will be to add the website from the results page, not from the request (form) page. I can add the page title and URL automatically to the table but they will need to be manually edited. Is this fine for you?
[2] Can you please suggest how to improve the list management? Maybe implementing drag-and-drop for the table rows?
You made me curious. What is the maximum number of rows some people will actually need? I thought that my 15 rows list is big :)
