- (2024-09-08) Jiayi: The reason I‘m still using Chrome
- (2023-11-10) Vyacheslav Sh: Всё работает: Набираем в адресной англ. "м" и потом - пробел. - включается наш поисковик. Далее набираем набор символов категории поиска, пробел и поисковый запрос. Очень удобно. Можно прописать поисковики маркетов и сразу везде посмотреть. Однако в браузерах Vivaldi и еще паре других "m" - не срабатывает как вызов расширения. Просто ничего не происходит. Автор добавь пожалуйста возможность назначать горячую клавишу самому.
- (2023-10-04) Paley Lyndon: What a time-saving extension that's super easy to customize. Highly recommended for anyone who want to save time on searching through multiple search engines.
- (2023-07-15) Hồ Thị Diễm Phượng: help me save a lot of time, thanks
- (2023-06-07) Max Morais: É pro nicho de sites de avalação de filmes. Procuro algo mais amplo.
- (2023-04-09) Adan Md: This is great something I've been looking for and almost creating myself but lack the know-how and talent. Was thinking of just creating a simple html page with embedded search engines from different sites. So glad someone created a much simpler method. 🙏😍
- (2023-03-05) DanikaD Dakika: This is perfect for me as a language learner. I loaded the default group with my favorite dictionaries. This saves me so much time!
- (2022-12-16) W: Exactly what I was looking for. This is going to save me so much time. Only improvement would be allowing custom shortcuts instead of 'm'. Chrome's Site Search allows custom shortcuts, albeit only for one site at a time, hence the need for this extension.
- (2022-12-16) cypher leo: simple to use and really achieve the multi search 1. Could you add the export function
- (2022-11-23) Dara Dina: very useful
- (2022-09-13) 펨케볼: Wow. This is the app I was looking for. The interface is great, too. How do I change M to another letter?
- (2022-06-05) Charles Gallagher: Awesome, fantastic tool for searching things. I couldn't get letters besides 'm' to work yet, but I only use it for one thing so no problem for now.
- (2022-03-13) Laurent: Works great, and excellent idea to make the queries go via Google I'm Feeling Lucky, so it works even with websites that don't have a good search engine.
- (2021-10-23) Koworu Nagisa: But setting page is too narrow
- (2021-08-07) Shelby Cobra: defaul hotkey is first letter, category is second. The only extension to search for several tabs
- (2021-08-03) Renat Gabitov: It's good, but hasn't been updated since 2015. I've added functionality to add multiple websites and use RegEx to do searches. Here is how it works: https://www.bardeen.ai/posts/how-to-search-multiple-websites-at-once
- (2021-07-10) Lukáš Béza: Wonderful tool to make your search faster, no need for any other extensions with custom searching bars. !!! Important fact I haven't found very easily is that you always need to turn it on by typing "m" into the searchbar and then you need to write your secod key like "d" to switch from default category to other defined categories (like dictionaries fe.). Therefore you don't need to change default category in settings all the time. !!! Example: "m d pursuit" - Looks for word pursuit in category with key signed "d".
- (2021-07-03) zhenjiang peng: nice extension, i was thinking write one then i found yours, pretty suilt my scene
- (2021-06-24) anthony zhou: very useful
- (2021-04-24) Amir Work: Claims to do exactly what I want, but does not work on Chrome Version 90.0.4430.85 (Official Build) (64-bit)
- (2021-04-23) David Pirrie: Really very good! Can't believe it's not more widely known. Once you configure it to your requirements it rocks! Thank you.
- (2021-03-27) Martin Lichtblau: Great idea and simple execution. I use it to search on multiple social media plattforms and for word translation and dictionary lookup at once. *Everything is possible!*
- (2021-01-05) Larissa Rodriguez: This is an essential extension for me. I needed an extension that would let me type in one word and search 7 websites simultaneously (for the curious, I'm making flash cards and I need pronunciations, pictures, definitions, explanations, and translations for my target language). I was able to customize my group and edit it later as my needs changed. My browser always had difficulty showing the "save" button when I was done editing, so I sometimes forgot that it was there and ended up closing my edit window without saving changes. If I could take off only a half star for that minor quibble instead of a full one, I would. True rating: 4.5 stars.
- (2020-12-08) xilliron: Works fine.
- (2020-04-07) Dao Ha: I want to change the websites in the list which I added it at the first install times, but I don't know how I can make this. Can you give instruction for me? If you don't have this function, It will be a proposal in order that you can improve your App. Thank you
- (2020-03-27) Vaclav Dekanovsky: It helps me to see if the desired picture is in 10 photobanks. CTLR+N to get a new window, m "Picture content" and immediately I get results from all photobanks, I quickly go through them and when I'm done I simply close the chrome window. It saves a lot of time
- (2020-03-20) Thize Neeyee: It would be nice if we can use a different hotkey to trigger the search. Using "M" means I have to take my left hand out of position to press the "M" then reposition my hand back into position to type. Keys Q, W,E,R,T or Y would be a better key to trigger the search.
- (2020-02-12) Myung Sam Ku: THIS IS WHAT I've searched for.
- (2020-02-08) Burak: That was the thing that I exactly need!
- (2020-01-11) Nome próprio Apelido: Incribel!
- (2019-12-05) Jarod Zhang: Very useful tool, I replaced the FluentForever multi-search tool with it already. If the developer could add the "select and right click to search" function(adding it to the left-click drop-down menu), this tool will be even greater!
- (2019-12-04) Mike: I use this to search multiple website's inventories at work and it is a life saver. Highly recommend to anyone who often needs to search multiple sites!
- (2019-11-03) kieu oanh: I love it, it's very useful <3
- (2019-09-23) minh tien: cám ơn chân thành đến nhà phát triển...
- (2019-08-29) C Cast: This is amazing. If it were possible to trigger the multiple search by selecting text on any app and pressing a specific shortcut, my life would be complete.
- (2019-06-30) Gronso Bitburg: This needs a way to swap quickly between categories. Even allowing options from the toolbar would help. Because having to go into options and clicking and saving each time i need to chage the search category is an absolute pain.
- (2019-05-22) Golden Eyes: i know well its been a while since it was last updated, but still works great! and exactly it does what i expected it to do! if you want to simply search for something based on your personal engines. this is the best for you!
- (2019-05-17) Steve Bendshadler: Edit: I didn't realize I needed to include the full search URL for each site and replace the query with %s. The instructions could perhaps be a bit more clear on that. It works wonderfully now. Previous review: Added several URLs to a new category. It opens the sites but does not actually execute the search on any of them. Clearly it lacks compatibility. Love the concept. It's likely related to how each site is coded.
- (2019-03-19) ekarron: THIS is so helpful!!
- (2019-03-16) ★★★★★
- (2018-10-23) Ivo Simeonov: This is exactly what I need! Just search with a single key phrase in multiple search engines for the same term... However it just doesn't work (at least with Chrome 69). When I go to the search engines list in Chrome this is what I get: Search engines added by extensions Instant Multi Search m It only shows the default search engine collection that comes pre-set with the exension. When you add a new one, it doesn't work. Change the keyword from "m" to anything else? Doesn't work. Try any of the other default search keywords in the extension? Doesn't work... Is there a way to circumvent this, or is the extension abandoned ( :( I hope note since I've been looking all day and nothing comes closer to what I want to do than this). Conceptually this is the perfect power search users' extension, however practically it doesn't work at the moment :( Please fix it! Love this one, and if fixed I promise to donate :)
- (2018-07-30) mark audacity romberg: Only one of my search keys works, all the rest if I type the key and hit tab, it fills Chrome's first autosuggestion instead of activating multi search.
- (2018-07-30) Peter Anderson: Very nice 3 years since last update so this is a long shot: Would you consider implementing multiple key support to boost useabiity?
- (2018-06-12) จิรสิน ชาติวิเศษ: ดีมากๆ เพราะผมใช้ค้นรูปภาพและการออกเสียงไปพร้อมกัน ฝึกภาษา
- (2018-05-11) Gábor Klement: Can't express how I love this.
- (2018-04-12) Daniel Turner-Lloveras: love it use it
- (2018-04-04) Gersivan Oliveira: Ótima, bem útil em muitas situações de uso. CONTRA: Faltou só uma forma mais prática de adicionar os mecanismos de busca para usuários comuns. Backup.
- (2018-03-06) Dexter Cuad: Nothing to say yet i dint try it,just good job
- (2018-01-24) Brandon MacKendrick: It is pretty good, and I use it all the time. However, sometimes, when I try to save a new group, I'll paste in the search group, and scroll down and click done, and then when I try to use it, it doesn't work. I'll go back in, and the whole thing has vanished - it never saved. A 'save' button per group might be nice, that force saves the group, so you know it's in there to stay.
- (2017-12-22) Dean Dolić: Simple, lightwight and elegant. Working exactly what it says. Keep up the good work Jerome!
