per VanguardLH, prije 8 godinaI've been using SmartSearch for a long time. Rather than right-clicking a highlighted string and getting only the Google choice afforded by Firefox, I could select which search provider to use. Alas, SmartSearch is a legacy (non-WebExt) add-on so it will die with Firefox 57.
A feature missing in this add-on that SmartSearch has is allowing the user to group their search URLs. That is, under the Search[es] folder, the user could define subfolders. For example, I have all my Google-based searches (general, image, news, maps, etc) grouped under a Searches/Google subfolder. All my Bing search URLs are under a Searches/Bing subfolder. Search providers for which I do not have multiple search types (differentiated by, say, images, news, videos, shopping, etc) have only a single entry so they reside under the Searches folder. This add-on will find all the search URLs under the subfolders (groups) but flattens out its context menu to show all search URLs at the same 1st-level of the context menu. I have 22 search URLs. This makes for a long list. Likely it will get longer. When I intend to search, I already know which one that I want to use so drilling through groups is easier than my eyes rolling up and down scanning a long flat list.
In flattening the list, it is generated in the order the subfolders are alphebetized as subfolders under the Searches folder. So there is still a bit of grouping. However, I would prefer the add-on support subfolders as did the SmartSearch add-on.
Thanks for making a WebExt version of a context search. I would really miss SmartSearch went it gets killed by FF 57.
UPDATE
Woohoo! Subfolders got added in the last release. I was doing some research on an upcoming vacation looking for places to get outdoors (less commercial, cheaper, and more relaxed). I was using Context Search, did some searches, and then realized that I had been selecting my search providers in the subfolders into which I had grouped them. YES! Hurrah to the author, and thanks to Zitronella on mentioning another webext add-on that this author could use as an example of code for context menu subfolders.

publicate prije 8 godinaThanks for the feedback! This extension is kind of bare bones in comparison with SmartSearch, mainly due to the limitations of WebExtensions. I can't find a way to add submenus with the current WebExtensions spec, unfortunately. If it's added in the future, I'll look in to it! Cheers!
Edit: I found out how to do it and have updated the extension with subfolder support.

- Classificate 4 de 5per DPierce, prije 5 godinaLove 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.
- Classificate 5 de 5per Genos, prije 5 godinaBetter than Context Search by Olivier de Broqueville & Carl Scheller.
- Classificate 5 de 5per Usator de Firefox 15998697, prije 5 godinaI 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.
- Classificate 5 de 5per Usator de Firefox 15573474, prije 5 godinaVery 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?

- Classificate 5 de 5per Michael Kirk, prije 5 godinaPerfect! The simplest solution is the best. I've tried other context search addons before and one very popular one crashed my browser every session. This addon is the best.
- Classificate 4 de 5per Usator de Firefox 12376444, prije 5 godina1. Иконка YouTube и Google Переводчика не отображается в контекстном меню время от времени;
2. Можете пожалуйста добавить опцию для показа поисковых систем без скрытия в подменю, просто в контекстном меню?
English:
1. The YouTube and Google Translate icon is not displayed in context menu from time to time;
2. Can you please add an option to show search engines without submenu, just in the context menu?
This extension helps me everyday! Thanks!
Каждый день это расширение помогает мне! Спасибо! - Classificate 1 de 5per Usator de Firefox 15291916, prije 6 godinaIt didn't even try to import the search engines already available in my search box.
