- Valutata 5 su 5di GlasWolf, 6 anni faHaving been forced to move on from Context Search I wasn't hopeful that the functionality could be replicated with the new API. Although managing the search engines is now a little clumsier (through no fault of the developer), the extra functionality and improved user interface in this add-on means this surpasses the original. Thanks Mike B - great job.
- Valutata 5 su 5di Vinícius, 6 anni faGood workaround for webext limitations for Ben Basson's Context Search Add-on.
- Valutata 5 su 5di a fox lover, 6 anni faedit: you're suck a great developer, it's really a good thing that the firefox community has someone like you
(edit) thank you a lot for your hard working and your care for user. Whatever coming next, I'm still happy with your extension
[edit] update, about your question: First, thank for your respond. And here's my answers: I feel it can be very easy for everyone, if they can just see the search results in the sidebar, and then continuous with what they're reading, without having to close the result tab or switch back to their tab, especially when you do the search regularly. And screens are getting bigger and wider, so let the sidebar opened won't be a big dealReplica dello sviluppatore

Looks like using the sidebar isn't too viable right now with the API limitations
* no POST capability (no page injection for POST code, sidebar not considered a TAB)
* can't open sidebar from quick menu / toolbar search (only available to context menu searches)
* limited width unless user edits files in profile dir
* sidebar always opens on install for FF pre-62 (minor annoyance)
Maybe in the future when the API is a bit more robust I can look into it again.
(edit 8-19)
The web extensions API is limited in how sidebars can be opened. I can send search results to the sidebar, but I cannot OPEN the sidebar programmatically in some cases. This may effect usability.
(edit) I'm trying it out now. The sidebar width is limited but I've read it can be increased by making changes to userChrome.css . I can add the option to open search results in the sidebar under -- search actions -- without much additional code.
You want to open search results in the sidebar vs in a tab? Could you explain a bit more about how that would be useful to you? - Valutata 5 su 5di decembre, 6 anni faGood Job!
Its the best alternavie for some other addon i used a lot before.
I appreciate the « search.json.mozlz4 » automatic import (to import our old Search engine and the big configuration options page (which can be saved !) - Valutata 5 su 5di maxelo, 6 anni fa
- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 13598358, 6 anni faEasy to use, super custom, can be customized according to personal habits, use the necessary extension of Firefox browser.
However, the setting interface is only one language in English. For some users in different countries, there may be certain obstacles to use. Suggestions: Support for dozens of languages around the world, custom download settings, will be the perfect!
By the way, if the right-click menu display position can also be customized (for example, you can choose to display the position under copy and paste), it is even better!
Finally, thanks to the excellent extensions of Firefox that developers bring to us!
Translate comments using translation softwareReplica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 6 anni faThe add-on does support internationalization. Right now there are translations for French and German. I'm always looking for contributors to translate into other languages. If anyone wishes to help, visit the support site on github and edit the files in the /src/_locales/en/ directory. (https://github.com/ssborbis/ContextSearch-web-ext/tree/native-app-support/src/_locales/en)
> By the way, if the right-click menu display position can also be customized (for example, you can choose to display the position under copy and paste), it is even better!
There is a setting for positioning the Quick Menu relative to the cursor with customizable pixel offsets. Do you mean moving the "Search for.." menu item higher in the context menu? Unfortunately, that cannot currently be done with the webextensions API - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 13843129, 6 anni faGreat that replacement for Ben's addon was created!
Thanksalot! :) - Valutata 5 su 5di Jose Martins, 6 anni faThanks for this update (1.6.2) and its "Old Firefox Style" option. FF post 57 was sorely missing the good old search bar.
Just a couple of things I hope you'll add in future:
- close after search
- empty search bar after search
again, thank you.Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 6 anni fa> - close after search
Ready for 1.6.3
> - empty search bar after search
The current behavior is to display the last search on a per-session basis. The last search should be highlighted, ready to be replaced with the first keystroke. Closing Firefox will clear the last search from the session storage. Adding the option is trivial but I'm not sure it's necessary. Specifically, what issue are you having with the default behavior?
(edit) This was not working properly under linux. Fix ready for 1.6.3 - Valutata 5 su 5di recycler.fox, 6 anni fa
- Valutata 5 su 5di Nicotine, 6 anni fa
- Valutata 5 su 5di The Beard Below My Chin, 6 anni faThis one is brilliant. I tried a couple context menu add-ons and this one is like context menu on steroids. It supports GET and POST methods which opens opportunities to many other services. You can use any icons you want. And it's highly configurable, more than other add-ons. It also adds toolbar icon that acts as an alternative to the search bar which saves screen real estate.
One thing that bothers me is that modifying the default engines; removing tracking parameters for example, results in a 'name already exist' error. Which is bizarre. (edit: fixed as of v1.6.0.3... That has to be a record fast response)
Feature request:
1) Javascript/Bookmarklet support.
Edit:
Use short javascript snippets for more advanced local operations e.g. Find&Replace all instances of a word in a text box or copy and format selected text as bbcode, etc.
2) Search button: Save search history / always show last query
3) Search button: Make autocomplete optional
4) Search button: Match browser theme
5) Search button: Support middleclick

That's a definite bug that must have popped up when I added the ability to change the name. I'll fix that today.

v1.6.0.3 should fix the problem

Are you wanting to access bookmarklets from the context menu when using the option to manage search engines via bookmarks? If you have a github account, start a new topic at the support site so I can get more info.

(edit 6-14) Having some problems with this one. Can't seem to get color values for built-in themes like Dark. I'll keep on it.

Ready for v1.6.1 - Valutata 5 su 5di marcos, 6 anni faVoltei a usar o Firefox só porque consegui encontrar essa extensão incrível, deveria vir nativa no Firefox de tanto que facilita a navegação. Obrigado ao desenvolvedor!
----------------------------------
I went back to using Firefox just because I managed to find this amazing extension, it should come native in Firefox so much that it makes browsing easier. Thanks to the developer! - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 11774908, 6 anni fa
- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 13362655, 6 anni faOne of the most useful addons I have. Love it. Support is great.
- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 14025605, 6 anni faWhat a beautiful addon. I use the tiles/quick menu which I find quicker to use. Took a few minutes to set up and import my existing search engines. Dev provides full instructions so even I could do it!! And it's all working perfectly! A great must-have extension. Many thanks to the developer. Your hard work is much appreciated.
- Valutata 5 su 5di dutski, 6 anni faWorth every star (5 of course) i gave. Absolutely must have for me. Thank you for making it.
- Valutata 5 su 5di giantmarmot, 6 anni faWorks flawlessly. Really useful extension. I'm hoping that the developer will consider adding support for separators and folders. Thanks. :)
Reply to dev: Yes. Thanks. :)Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 6 anni fa(edit v1.4.2)
Subfolders and separators for the context menu are live in beta for this release. Search engines can be organized from a bookmark folder after enabling the option and granting the Bookmarks permission.
---------------------------------------
Do you mean a tiered menu and separators in the context menu? I'll check it out. - Valutata 5 su 5di philrj, 6 anni faI'm thrilled to see such a simple-yet-powerful context search extension for FF 57+ and similar to the old, unsupported Context Search plugin we all loved. Big props to dev for making this happen and thank you thank you! ;)

- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 13493718, 6 anni faSuper impressive. This is not just another context menu search extension, it's more than that! Unexpected but much appreciated features and customization. Seems to have good support and active development.
