pubblicato il 7 anni faHi Olivier,
wow, thank you very much for your nice words and great feedback. I feel honored. Yup Ben's extension was very popular before the Quantum update and I like your background story why you developed your Context Search addon, which has a lovely user base btw. Hope to get there someday too.
About the name - I think it kinda fits because truffle pigs search for something valuable very fast and directly with their nose. So it is a good analogy for a direct web search tool, but of course tastes are different :-)
Thank you for your ideas.
@ 1: yup Mycroft is a great source for Open Search plugins. I didn't know about the linked github project. It is indeed a good starting point to maybe integrate and convert their plugins and even offer more searches right away. Right now I'm busy with improving the editor but I gonna take a look at this later.
@2: both is definitely planned. I already have a rule system in place to adapt and prepare selected text for some searches like e.g. my WHOIS search where it uses the current URL if nothing is selected, but currently it's not user editable. User contributed regex rules have been requested a few times and I think they will be a great addition. Your review motivates me to add this sooner than later. Thanks.
Also the possibility to create "smart folders" & searches which appear only in certain scenarios and websites has been in my feature list for quite some time. I already prepared my code base to build different menus for different scenarios in update 0.1.0. So the only thing that is needed is a small database update and UI updates for the editor, which is probably the most difficult task without confusing the user. So thank you very much for your input! It seems we think alike in this regard. So once my current tasks are done and live I probably gonna start right with your #2 suggestions right away.
Thank you very much also for sharing your code base.
Have a great day and greetings from Vienna,
Clemens
