by Duncan Moore, 9 years agoI like the suggestion by Teko for a "current site search" option for Google, but understand what you say about it deviating from what the add-on does. But what about this approach, which generalises the idea and might fit in a bit more naturally. Currently, the web address has %s replaced by the text selection. What if also %d (say) was replaced by the current domain name. The user could then manually edit the web addresses exactly as they like, for any search engines of their choice. For example, for a Google site search they'd change "%s" to "site:%d %s". This concept could be extended to %u (say) being replaced by the URL. It could then be used to send the whole page to Google Translate, HTML validation services etc. (In this case, the add-on would also need to work with the Context Menu you get when there's no text selection). I realise that it's a bit more work for the user to set up initially, and that there might be technical reasons why it's not suitable - but I thought I'd put the idea forwards.

posted 9 years agoI think it's an interesting idea, and something I might look into! I've added it as an enhancement issue: https://github.com/NumeriusNegidius/Context-Search/issues/18

Unfortunately, recently the search entry icons are missing. All items have the same black addon icon. - Update: New version works, thank you very much!

- Rated 4 out of 5by DPierce, 6 years agoLove this extension, but... my one criticism would be that I wish they'd update the icon in the context menu drop-down so I could see/find it easier. The little magnifying glass is to bland and doesn't stick out enough for me. I really wish I could make it yellow or another icon so I could differentiate it from all my other add-ins more easily.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15998697, 6 years agoI have the same issue as 2nd comment below mine. Favicons keep disappearing when I want to search selected test with this addon. When I e.g open options in Firefox and than want to use this addon again everything is ok.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15573474, 6 years agoVery good, and easy to add new search engines and manage them. The only problem I have is the favicons keep disappearing. It looks like they are not stored locally and have to be downloaded every time you open the browser. Is it so?
