- Vurdert til 4 ut av 5av Ree, 8 år sidenI like it, but I would LOVE it if it could work like the context search addon for FF <56. You only had to select some text, right click and there in the menu you got a few icons to click on. With this addon the search engines are behind a menu.

postet 8 år sidenHey there! Thanks for the review! :)
Do you mean making the search engines appear outside the "Search for (...)" sub menu? I tried to install Context Search on an older Firefox to see what it did exactly but it placed all engines inside a sub menu too, so I was a bit confused. :)
If it's that, I'm afraid I can't do it in WebExtensions (the only way to create extensions after Firefox 57). Sorry! Quoting Mozilla, "If you have created more than one context menu item or more than one tools menu item, then the items will be placed in a submenu." There doesn't seem to be a way around this.
Cheers!

- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 13466644, 8 år sidenFinally found replacement for Clickless Menu! Spent awhile Googling before stumbled across this. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Remy.H, 8 år sidenFinally I find the extension I was dreaming to have. This extension is a must have for me and as firefox user I was using chrome ONLY because there was a similar extension that I could not find for firefox. You can easily customize the add-on and make your own search engines.
EX: add this in the addon settings: https://translate.google.com/?source=gtx_c#auto/en/{searchTerms} and now you can select any text and directly get a translation on google translate. I have added my favorite dictionaries like Larousse, Merriam-Webster etc.. and I have a translation with one click.
Million Thanks for the excellent job. - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Hegel, 8 år siden
- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av skace marko, 8 år sidenJust what I was searching for ;)
I went back to FF52 ESR, because in quantum doesnt work my favorite auto search addon, but I found a great replacment.
Thank you very much mr. dev. - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av t7yang, 8 år siden
- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Mattwmaster58, 8 år sidenVery useful, highly configurable and options all are useful.
- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Serhii, 8 år sidenthe best extension! As a search engine I added Google Translate link https://translate.google.com/?sl=da#auto/en/{searchTerms} , so i can translate now the selected text too!
- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Homme-Nuage, 8 år sidenI think I found a nice replacement for Context Search (the one by Ben Basson) and Drag & Drop Zones (which is broken).
It's a very good thing to be able to import engines from the search.json file.
Some of my engines were imported twice, because of the multiple links that exist in some files, but I must clarify that I created custom search engines with XML files, in an amateur way (imitating other search engines) and maybe I didn't do too well. Edit : it is now fixed.
The open as link button doesn't work but I expect it will be fixed soon enough. Edit : it actually worked for single-word and hyphened-word searches but not for a text with spaces or words separated by colons. The dev allowed the former with their last update but the later is forbidden by Mozilla.
Would it be possible to save the preferences ?
Thanks for your work, it is well thought out and deserves a better place on this website.Utviklerrespons
postet 8 år sidenHey there, thanks for the review! :) I'm strongly inclined to believe that your duplicate imported engines were caused by a bug that I fixed in 3.6.0. Hopefully!
Could you please tell me more about the "open as link" icon not working? (or report the problem to https://github.com/CanisLupus/swift-selection-search/issues) It seems to be working for me, but sometimes the problem is hard to reproduce. An example would help a lot!
Exporting the preferences or even syncing with Firefox Sync is in my plans. ;) - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av cz104th, 8 år siden
- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Orangutan, 8 år sidenVery customizable. Is the only add-on of its kind that can directly import from search.json.mozlz4 saving you a lot of time. Developer is very nice and personable too :)
- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av manuxuser, 8 år sidenI used to work with Opera because it get this ability to use this overlay functionnality, which very usefull with netbook.
Now, it totally powerfull in Firefox, I think it had to be integrated out of the box in FF. Bravisssssssiiiimmmmooooo and thank you ! - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av graycatgrayhat, 8 år siden
- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av graycatgrayhat, 8 år sidenWonderful replacement to other context search extensions, plus has extra options to fine tune the menu and icons.
- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av tvfj, 8 år sidenEssentially two addons in one and HIGHLY customizable.
If you don't like the popup, you can just use it in the context menu. It also lets you define how new tabs are opened (load in current tab, open in new tab, open in tab next to this one, open in a new tab without switching to it...), and even define a middle-click setting as well.
Protip: To import your browser search engines, you can press Shift+F2 to bring up the GCLI, and use the command "folder openprofile", then get the file it mentions. No need to hunt, and if you have multiple profiles no need to try and figure out which one is your actual one.Utviklerrespons
postet 8 år sidenThank you for your review. :) I'm glad you like it! I also want to add that I didn't know about that command nor the shortcut, so I should thank you again for that tip. ;) Cheers!
