* Chrome is phasing out support for manifest v2 extensions. Chrome may have disabled this extension in your browser. As of March 1, 2025 you can keep using ContextSearch web-ext by re-enabling it in the Chrome -> Extensions menu.
A manifest v3 version is in the works but will require users to enable Chrome's Developer mode to allow this extension access to the UserScripts API @https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/blob/main/proposals/user-scripts-api.md
ContextSearch web-ext
The most powerful, most complete search enhancement for Firefox comes to Chrome
This Add-on was written as a Firefox 57+ web-extensions compatible replacement for Ben Basson's popular Context Search Add-on but has grown into much more.
* Access search engines from the Context Menu
* Manage search engines using subfolders and separators
* Access search engines from a popup menu (QuickMenu)
* Compatible with all search engines using POST or GET requests
* International character-set support
* Reverse-image search
* Site search compatible
* Add new search engines simply with a right-click
* Edit search engine parameters and icons
* Access bookmarklets from the context menu
* Toolbar Search
* Set hotkeys for each search engine
* and much more

- (2024-06-08) Jon Pham: Still working to this day, October 24, 2022. One of my most highly used extensions. Going to dig through it to see if there is an option to search multiple sites all at once. How do you add search terms with spaces? Update: you can add this to modify terms regex: "\\s","-" the "-" you can replace with "+" if needed

- (2024-05-15) KiSSeli: Must-have extension for me with the most complicated setting i have ever seen. Doesn't work on Google sites, unfortunately. Clear 5 stars from me.
- (2023-12-23) Lawrence San: I've used many, many different extensions in several different browsers over many years. (I'm an experienced web developer, starting when the web was first invented, and can code several different web languages -- in other words, I'm not a newbie.) ContextSearch web-ext has the most complicated, buggy preferences interface I've ever seen in a browser extension. I have it running in both Firefox and Chrome, and when it works it's great -- but trying to customize it, add search engines, etc. is a nightmare. Currently one of the engines in my ContextSearch list is "Google Maps". It works fine in Firefox, but doesn't work at all in Chrome, just leads to a blank page. So I tried exporting it from Firefox into Chrome. Forget it! The export/import features in the extension's customization interface appears to just export the URL for the icon, not for the search engine itself? And some of the gazillion preferences-interface elements for this extension, in both browsers, appear as just solid gray blocks -- regardless of what theme I use, or whether Dark Reader is on or off, or what other interface options I choose for ContextSearch itself. Of the options (including links) that I can see clearly, most of them don't do anything like what their name implies or what I'd expect them to do. I haven't given up on it because, for the engines I finally get working, it's very useful. But I spend more time wrestling with this interface than with all my other (many) installed extensions put together!

- (2023-05-12) Виталий Кича: Супер! Но копирует выделенное из полей для ввода независимо от настроек, даже из под звездочек, необходимо это исправить.
- (2023-03-17) Night Call: With this extension, you can search selected text or clicking a word in specialized search engines, Can search the current page and the current site or image in Google (or another search engine) with just two clicks. You can easily add them by right-clicking any search bar or using mycroftproject.com. Previously, I was using Pitmairen Selection Search, but ContextSearch is way better.

- (2022-12-15) Signdex: First, thank you so much for the fine thought-out extension. I didn't find a option so that when searching from the context menu, the result opens in a next near tab after the original one (in the next right tab), and not at the end of the list of all tabs. If there is no such option, then please add it. It is absolutely inconvenient when many tabs are open.

- (2022-09-27) Em vi em: Very good with so many neat settings. Thank you. I was happy to find "auto copy selected text" option in the advance settings. It would still be better for me if the quick popup menu icons appeared immatediately upon text selection. A possible bug I later noticed: The scroll bar disappears in some webpages in which it shouldn't. I can only solve the problem by disabling this extension. I had to remove it as this possible bug is very annoying to me. This problem might relate to something I made in advance settings. Thanks anyway.

Is there any option where there is a synchronization option so that all the settings automatically add to same gmail Google Chrome profile of other computer?
