av MS_TO, 8 år sidanThis 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.

posta 8 år sidanThis add-on is not what you need. Some people have different needs than you.
I, for example, need a list of custom queries on the same website. Just a few parameters of the query are different. Also I need to quickly add or modify these search queries.
I your opinion, I should go on Mycroft and create about 20 plugins, all mostly identical. Then download them. Then every few days add a new plugin there or modify one of my plugins? So which solution is friendlier for the people with the same needs as me? This add-on or Mycroft?
Your review is like someone rating negatively all the trucks because he doesn't need a truck.
Edit: If really there is no add-on using the Mycroft plugins then I could create a separate add-on to use them.

So you might ask why the low review:
1). It was delisted from Google for Privacy Violations. Thus clearly there are Privacy concerns.
2). The code is obfuscated. - Vurdering: 2 av 5av rediffusion, 3 år sidanНет возможно выборочного поиска на нескольких сайтах одновременно. Нет папок и подпапок.

- Vurdering: 4 av 5av kkjiang, 3 år sidanThe Favicon of each search engine is not "cached" to disk drive, they must to be re-downloaded after every firefox restart, it will be better if these favicons been cached.

- Vurdering: 5 av 5av wvxwxvw, 4 år sidanВсе работает, кроме автокопирования в буфер и никакие настройки не слетают. Упоминаемое ниже расширение даже рядом не валялось с этим аддоном, так как добавляет свой пункт только для выделенного текста, а в этом раздельные подменю для разных контекстов - картинка, фрейм, вкладка, страница, ссылка. Например можно передать адрес картинки для поиска по изображению или адрес сайта/ссылки для для открытия в Google Trnslate, или получения информации о сайте/домене и т.п. Аддон обновлялся два года назад, но даже сейчас он способен добавлять свои пункты в контекстное меню вкладок, в том числе и вкладок TST.

- Vurdering: 1 av 5av sgdl-pers, 4 år sidanPreviously this addon worked fine, now though not a single option provided by default works, nor do those I've created myself. Do not waste time downloading.
- Vurdering: 2 av 5av BlackWinny, 4 år sidanI have used it for years. And I was happy with it, I used it extensively all day long. But when it was last updated two years ago, this previously excellent extension suddenly lost the ability to keep personal settings... You have to reload them in memory from your backup every new Firefox session! An extremely annoying and time-consuming process. As a result, the extension loses most of its interest, and the developer seems to have completely abandoned it. About six months ago I switched to another extension, Swift Selection Search, which does exactly the same job (minus the custom sub-menus) but works perfectly and with the same possibility to save personal settings... but which doesn't require to reload them manually at each Firefox session. A dream! This Selection Context Search extension lost all its interest when it was updated two years ago. Better to switch to Swift Selection Search.
