after update the extension has gone
they made a [aid version for this and I have lost all of my saved data and I cannot import it to new pc.
TOTALLY RUINED! This extension was one of my favourites, I have a backup of my search tools I would import for each new install on a web browser. Now my import is not working, and my custom searches refuse to work. This is a select and search tool. Why on earth do I need AI involvement? Y'all would put AI in a toaster just to say it has AI. There is no reason for me to prompt for anything with this tool! This is such an absurd use for AI. Not to mention you did not make the import backwards compatible! I am so furious that a clean install pushed this update!
Yesterday the Yandex browser stopped working.
After adding all the premium options in version 3, extension stopped working - it just disappeared from context menu altogether. Either developer completely broke it, or it is became impossible to use it for free. Now I'm really sad, because I was devoted user of "Context Menu Search" for years before today. Now I suddenly have to find alternative extension and somehow port my options there, which is not gonna be easy, because most alternative extensions use %s, not =TESTSEARCH in their options. Ruining perfect extension just to add premium options isn't cool. It's like selling good reputation for non existing money.
It stopped working. Update to get it working again: 1) Remove Extension 2) Add Extension.
This app doesn't seem to do anything. I was hoping to use this to restore the image search into the right-click menu.
It reset all my settings, nice. 0/10
Site corrupted. Developer AWOL.
Not working anymore.
try this one instead https://github.com/w3lifer/crx-context-menu-search
This should search within quotation marks. Otherwise we can not call it a context searcher because it will yield search results for all the words within the context separately and not like within quotation marks. Do that and get a five star.
I love this extenson but it keeps forgetting my saved search engines. Ive had to set it up 4 or 5 times
After months today stop working I do not see it if I selected and click right mouse :( Help!
No longer working. Used this for years and will update back to FIVE stars if it can be updated but right now, it's dropped to ZERO stars since it stopped functioning undoubtedly from another Chromium code update.
Sorry if I didn't contact the developer first, but I think people on Chromebooks (this one is a Toshiba 2) shud know that it never did install a right click option, which pretty much makes it worthless. After going to the trouble of weeding thru the options, in order to add 'DuckDuckGo' & 'StartPage' (aka ixquick). Neither showed up. big bummer. Great idea; poor execution.
It should let you search using the search engines you have "built-in" into Chrome. Now it has no use whatsoever to me.
I can not see the use of this extension with Chromes new functions? I simply highlight the text -> right click -> choose Google [highlighted word/meaning] and POOF I get the google results. Instead of just giving one search result (ex. IMDB) I get ALL googles hits, including IMDB. This app DOES NOT save me any time at all. Maybe before this function got implemented, but definitely not now.
very confusing to work and doesnt have an easy way to add links
Can't delete default options. My settings randomly reset.
not working on Perplexity's comet browser :-(
It's a foolish decision to upgrade the AI functionality in an already mature extension app! Especially, it doesn't support the settings JSON from older versions. In the end, I even found that the author said, 'I did not expect users to use old settings in the new version.
working a few hours ago and now it has stopped and all my sites have gone?
Worked well except: many of my searches had an ampersand (&) in them, which acted as an end-of-line marker, e.g. "Echo & The Bunnymen" searched for only "Echo." Note: no more ashutoshdwivedi.com - the URL has been parked since 2021.
TESTSEARCH doesn't work. Pls, provide a working method to add new site to the menu.
doesn't get engines from chrome!
Unusable. Please fix.
Stopped work couple days ago
Works smoothly, but an auto-popup menu would be good. Also some actions like Go to Url, Copy Selection.
It is useful, but it would be a good idea to have an option that recognizes the search engines added to the browser. I had about 20 in Chrome and I was forced to transfer one by one (name and link), it was tedious.
I had it set up for youtube music searches and it worked a treat but has stopped in the past few months. Any ideas anyone?
like it but the search for twitter doesn't work .please check it
All my links disappeared! Why?
When will this be updated? It doesn't works as well as on the beginning.
Not really what I was after. Missing some features.
It works well. But it will be better if we can search in several links at the same click, i.e http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=TESTSEARCH; http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=TESTSEARCH in 1 line, will launch search on both links in separate tabs...
Really? Just in english? That's poor. It should be an "finger exercise" to ad an language option, based on international language files IN ANY Language. Think about it - it should be great and will grown up your usership. Also: i'd missed the possibilty to change the default-search and to unstack some of the search-engines by an option. I hope you will think about that too. But: THANKS for a nice App and all your work with.
Update 4 yrs later: Had to remove it. It kept randomly deleting all my configs. Donezo! Next! Previous: Missing one small thing to make it perfect; The ability to categorize searches into groups. i.e. Search Engines -> Google, Bing, etc. Images -> Google Images, Picasa, etc. News -> CNN, etc. Instead of having one, long list where they're all mixed together.
Not works for image search
So close to what I'm looking for but so far. Why doesn't this add itself to the image context menu? When right clicking an image in chrome, you can select, search google for this image. It actually uploads it to the image search box. That same option for bing would be awesome.
Nice but doesn't work in Google-Chrome on Linux
I got here trying to find a replacement for "clickless menu" addon in Firefox. This extension is great but I miss something. Would it be possible to add an option so you just have to double-click on the word or select text, for the context menu to show up? instead of actually having to select it then right-click? That'd be an improvement! please!
Great App! But I have to add my search engines on other PCs once again which is very tiresome. Please, add a synchronization via Google account on Chrome!
Would be nice an option to open ALL search tab with a click. Thank you
Very useful extension but it would have been alot better if there would be icons of websites. Please update it...!!!
it will be much better if it can support some search engine which have two variables in their links
Please support unicode characters
Wish there was an option to inline all the searches into the context menu.
