posted 4 years agoHi and thanks for the review! If you have feature suggestions please report them to the GitHub issues page instead of here. :)
1. I think you are looking for the "Discard on open" checkbox that each search engine has in SSS. It avoids creating a new tab. You can already use engines like es:{searchTerms} for searching with the Everything app.
2. You'd have to use "file:///" before the actual path, but file paths won't work anyway because the WebExtensions API will block them as invalid URLs (i.e. "Error: Illegal URL: file:///C:/Applications/Something.exe") even though Firefox recognizes them as correct when writing them in the URL. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Cheers!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Melchor Aurelio Aguirre Salas, 17 days agoIt would be good if the search engine could be chosen according to the user's preference. In my case, I like to do searches in Perplexity. The situation would be the following. first select a text, second modify or add more information for your query and third just press enter to open the search engine which in my case is perplexity, it would also be good if the text prompt was not reduced when eliminating search engines

- Rated 5 out of 5by zorg, 2 months agoSuper useful add-on, couldn't do without it now. It would be nice to add some extra options such as searching in AI (chatGPT, Voila, Gemini etc), "copy URL", "duplicate tab", "open tab in private window", reader mode, screenshot etc

- Rated 5 out of 5by FS Viral, 3 months agoI love this add-on. I wish it was available for use in all of MacOS. I love that it pops up automatically when I highlight something. It's cool that you can use any preferred search engine as well as many other apps when you highlight text.

I mostly use it for the "copy to clipboard" function, so I wish it had an option to add a "cut to clipboard" function! It makes sense that you can't cut from a website; however, I enabled the option to open in text boxes, so a cut function would be useful. That's the only reason I did not give it the 5th star. - Rated 5 out of 5by nawri, 4 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Sam, 5 months agoMany options and context menu search is convenient. I like the ability to group search engines together. More than one export/import options and dark/light mode; Fav-icon support. One of my most valued extensions.
