    please add three features .
    1) add url protocol engine . example:
    es:{searchTerms} target:_self . no new tab etc. icon url or local selection.

    2) add local app engine .
    example:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\WinCatalog\WinCatalog.exe /s "{searchTerms}" target:_self . no new tab etc. icon url or local selection.

    3)possible icon offline import or offline url file:///D:/Icons/google1.ico etc...

    please add features. and your extention more great...
    thanks
    Sincerely.


    reply 02: You can already use engines like es:{searchTerms} for searching with the Everything app.
    " i already using but i made config "Left mouse button click=new tab..."
    because youtube google etc search engines open in new tab.
    but url protocols es: test etc .. must be same tab target.

    Hi 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!

    I use this extention every day. it is one of my favorite extensions. just works as expected with many search options. simply, it is open source and very useful.

    Was thinking about this basic feature missing from FF (like countless others), so surprised to find exactly what I wanted.

    In the settings of Popup / icons behavior
    Right mouse button click ＞ Open in new background
    It opens with Open in new tab, right?
    why?

    This turned out to be an extraordinary addon! I love it! I've always wanted to be able to add search engines in a simple way without knowing programming and SSS gives me exactly that! :D I was finally able to add a context menu search for Urban Dictionary. :D :D

    Edit: I was wrong. This addon is not just extraordinary, it's EPIC!!! Once you figure out how to add new search engines, you can use it even as a translator. Guess what this address does to the selected text. :D
