- Rated 5 out of 5by JC, 7 years agoMany thanks for your great work, very useful
But, same issue here with recent updates with FF 56.0.2 (64 bits), I have to stay in v5.5 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13679298, 7 years agoAwesome customizability to allow for searching anything that can be passed on the URL. Really helpful!
- Rated 5 out of 5by 高晓新, 7 years ago我好像没有表达清楚我的意思。我是说希望作者可以添加云同步功能，就是说在别人的电脑上下载Selection Context Search插件后登陆自己的账号就可以同步自己电脑的该插件配置。

- Rated 5 out of 5by Duncan Moore, 7 years agoThe name of the context menu item is only configurable for selection context. Could you make it configurable for each context?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Lejon, 7 years agoIf i may ask for more features, mostly related to the appearance, like:
1- An option to set the maximum length of selected text shown in the context menu. 44 is way too long.
2- An option to change the main context menu icon or hiding it completely.
3- An option to list the search websites in rows by their favicons without the text label.
and thank you for the great add-on.Developer response
posted 7 years agoUnfortunately these features cannot be implemented due to API limitations.
1. Not possible. Firefox sets the length of the string. Also there is a Firefox bug where the ".." is appended in all situations.
2. The main menu icon is always the add-on icon. Eventually you can suggest a nicer icon for the add-on.
3. Again this is not possible by using the context menu. It could be implemented in a different way by opening a small window after clicking in the context menu or after the text is selected. But I think this way will be more inconvenient. - Rated 5 out of 5by Frank Sproede, 7 years agoGreat extension with a little bug: The bookmarked searches only work when the browser locale is set to en-us.
It would be nice if you could add a placeholder for the complete URL and an option to use searches without a selection in the page and link context. Ex: https://web.archive.org/web/*/~$U$~ could open an archived page.
Edit: Thanks a lot for the quick update. 5 stars now. :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13583646, 7 years agoSearched a long time for an extension with this functionality. Works flawlessly.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13416936, 7 years agoДля новой версии Firefox лучше не найти добавления поиска в контекст меню
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13498499, 7 years agoWorks like a charm !
Searched an add-on like this for a long time (used one similar on Chrome) and finally found this one.
Easily 5 stars. - Rated 5 out of 5by tipar, 7 years agoLast night a DJ saved my life. Awesome, very customizable and intuitive, 100% user friendly. Some searches as Rottentomatoes or Metacritic do not seem to work. I have done it manually too and nothing happens. A 5 either way. EDIT: after a week I found the way to add the searchers by myself. Just thinking; maybe add some hotkeys to automatize and do faster the searchers so we do not have to actually right click on the selected word.
- Rated 5 out of 5by svan71, 7 years agoI really miss context search x and add too searchbar prior to 57. Please add Newegg.com Best Buy and Micro Center to search options.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoThe default list of search pages is meant to be an example of how the add-on could be used.
You can add them manually in the Options page for the add-on or by using the add-on button from the Firefox menu bar.
If you wish to add them manually the addresses are:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&Description=
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?id=pcat17071&st=
http://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?Ntt= - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13447600, 7 years agoNice extension. Would it be possible to add open selected text in a new tab?
Something that just opens the highlighted text
(whatever it is and however it is formatted) in a new tab.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThis could be quite difficult because the formatting could be inherited from different places in the page and also from different files.
Otherwise it is simple to show the text with generic formatting.
I will think about it. - Rated 5 out of 5by Chao, 7 years agoWould you add an option to open the new tab next to the current one? Thank you.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firebreathing, 7 years agoA marvelously designed extension! Thank you.
Can you put your extensions on GitHub so that issues can be raised there?
Also, can you have the extension store the favicons? Loading them each time is fairly slow. - Rated 5 out of 5by Thanos Massias, 7 years agoThis is a very useful addon.
One minor feature I'd like to suggest is trimming trailing spaces from the selection. You get such spaces in the selection when you double click on a word. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13321256, 7 years ago...In the context menu. Is it a method to remedy it by myself? If not could you please put a look? Thanks for the work.

posted 7 years agoEdit: you can specify now (in version 1.18) an address for the icon of each search website.
This website does not have the icon in the standard place. It sets the icon in the code. I am not sure how to automatically obtain the icon in this situation.
Other solution will be to optionally specify the icon location for each website in the list. I added this to my to-do list. - Rated 5 out of 5by 玄清介, 7 years agoon Firefox 57 beta, cannot export settings
can you fix it?
edit:
setting export is ok on version 1.12, fx 57 beta 6Developer response
posted 7 years agoI have just tested the export/import in Firefox 57 and I could not find any problem. I also added a website with Chinese characters in the domain name and it worked. Maybe the problem appears only under certain circumstances? Please let me know if you find a clue.
