- Rated 5 out of 5by Zorojuro, 5 years agoHi Tom,
Is that possible to transfer configuration in any way?
Even to save search query somewhere will be a great solution. - Rated 5 out of 5by Jannes Meyer, 5 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by moka_a, 5 years agoAlmost perfect. I'm having hard times deleting or fixing an engine (which happens to be Google FYI and) whose "Search URL" I tweaked and ended up making it invalid when I added it. Unfortunately it seems users are not allowed at all to edit added engines.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16160464, 5 years agoWell, problem doesn't reproduce anymore, so, I guess bad luck. Thanks for your work.
(in the meantime, did things another way : directly uncompressing search.json.mozlz4, manually editing and recompressing. takes a bit of time but gets things done)Developer response
posted 5 years agoIf you open an issue on https://github.com/evilpie/add-custom-search-engine/issues with the Open SearchXML preview (under advanced options) I might be able to help you.
This still works correctly for me. So this might be an issue with the image or your Firefox configuration. - Rated 5 out of 5by Desi Burger, 5 years agoMan, I was about to uninstall Firefox and go back to Chrome thieves, for the lack of my country localized Google search engine in Firefox, that I just couldn't find. This extension saved the day. Thank you so much.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16148867, 5 years agoAll what I want. I don't understand why mozilla does not include the custom search engines as feature.
- Rated 1 out of 5by roodley, 5 years agoNot working as intended. When I manually enter a search engine and press "Add custom search engine" I get sent to the "Adding a new search engine via the URL bar" page, showing how to add a search engine with the 3 dot menu, but the option in the 3 dot menu never appears for the sites im trying to add. I'd like an option for the manual input to not take me to the 3 dot instruction screen.
Will update rating when this is resolved because this app is really vital for me.Developer response

The option in the 3 dot menu might not appear if you already have a search engine with the same name installed! - Rated 3 out of 5by 界安, 5 years agoI used to use "add to search bar", it only need a right click on the search box, it was much more easier.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Nibinaear, 5 years agoI literally don't know how to use this anymore, I used the form but nothing happened. Then a page was shown to add the search using the 3 dots but then all my customizations were lost and the search did not work. Instead of getting a wikipedia search all I got was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test every time. How do you use this thing now?

Apparently Mozilla is depreciating Opensearch XML addon support? That's dumb.

Found this extension and it does the job of creating custom search bar options perfectly. Highly recommended!
