on Firefox 57 beta, cannot export settings
can you fix it?

edit:
setting export is ok on version 1.12, fx 57 beta 6

Icons can be gotten. I asked the same thing of another search context menu developer and he found a way to do it. Check his add-on here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/contextual-search/?src=search

I replaced my old not correctly working context search plugin with this one and have no problems. The only thing I would kike to see as an improvement would be syncing the search sites list thru Firefox Sync

This is an obviously useful add-on. I used to use "Context Search" but it is not being maintained and will be incompatible with FF 57+ so must find a replacement. "Selection Context Search" seems the best option but it needlessly complicates the method for adding search engines. FF already has a method for adding search engines via mycroftproject.com. I have a large set of search plugins that I have already curated and it would be daunting task to do this over again, especially by the method implemented in for this add-on.

Selection Context Search requires me to know the URL path for the search engine and gives me no hints as to how to find this info. Whereas, Context Search just used the already installed search plugins from MyCroft. And it is not even clear to me how I would add a search engine to Selection Context Search.

Why implement an entirely different and far less user friendly method of adding search engines when you can just use the search plugins that the user has already installed?

I hope the developer of this plugin will update this extension to use the existing search plugins. That is how it should work, logically. There is no need or value in implementing any other method of adding search engines. In fact, it detracts from the usability of the extension.

For me, this is perfect ! Thank you ~

I can't edit anything in add-on options page. I click but nothing happens.

Great! It works very well...
1) Adding an option for "current site search" using google, would be much better.

2) If Possible, why don't you make the menu entry itself acts like a search engine!
I mean searching (using default SE/Google) by clicking the main entry " Find {selected} using..." itself.
Thanks :)

Simple and functional.

Very good addon, thanks.

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.

Pretty decent replacement for Context Search X, however, I'd be nice if you could add the option to show certain search engines directly under the context menu instead of always having to use a submenu.

Changed rating to reflect dev comment, thanks.
