The all-in-one search tool: select and search. Find on multiple websites at once. Easy anonymous setup. Cross-browser sync.

NEW in Quick Search v1.9.10:
✅ Update to webExtension MV3, which makes this addon future proof for 2024 and beyond.
🔄 Replaced webRequests with declarativeNetRequests for instant search and more(still only available for beta tester, public one will be with v2.0)
⚠️ KNOWN ISSUES: Depending on your chosen options if the service worker/background script goes to sleep it loses it's knowledge which previous tabs have been opened by the addon. So those can't be auto-closed if you have chosen this option. This info might be stored in the addon storage in a later update but isn't critical for your daily searches.

- (2023-06-11) Joel Kelly: The right-click functions to search Baidu, Yandex, Google, Bing and TinyEye, literally none of them work, as of 6/11/23. They either give no results or an error. Meanwhile, this extension puts a little piggy nose next to everything I click on or select, even text, which is really annoying. The only function that works is if you click on the extension and do a search from there. It's the only reason I'm not giving this 1 star.
- (2022-08-22) Johnny Rico: Great extension, I love tools like this for customization. Can't wait to have icons on Chrome !
- (2022-07-07) Сергей Друзь: Удобное, аналогов не видел, хоть и перелопатил кучу. 😉
- (2022-05-02) Monica Lee: 剛剛使用,出現一次錯亂,可能會剛剛使用,出現過一次錯亂,圖標很可愛。
- (2022-03-14) Ameya Deb: Great extension. Nearly all aspects can be customized and once the setup is done it's extremely useful. Highly recommended. Look forward to the custom reverse image search feature
- (2021-10-14) Armin Mutscheller: Schon nach wenigen Stunden merke ich: Ein Übersetzerleben ohne Trufflepiggy ist möglich, aber sinnlos. NOCH BESSER wäre es vielleicht, wenn man die Suchquellen im Overlay gruppieren könnte. Die durchgezählte Links-Rechts-Anordnung finde ich persönlich etwas unpraktisch, aber vielleicht habe ich ja etwas übersehen...
- (2021-07-25) Rüzgar Selvan: You should add minimalistic options such as removing hints, extras and the footer.
- (2021-05-29) Станислав Садыков: Отличное расширение
- (2020-09-29) Paul Edward: Simply amazing. One of the most useful extensions I have ever had the pleasure of using , and that's really saying something because I'm something of an extension junkie.. more of a extension-hopper, in the same way that one might be a distro-hopper in the linux community, though admitedly, it doesn't have the same ring to it. Tangent aside, I first DL'd Trufflepiggy Context Search several months back at random. I thought it sounded cool in theory but I wasn't expecting for it to redefine my entire context menu navigating experience/expectations, etc. Long story short, it was/is everything I've ever needed and I didn't even know it. Oh, and just to put it over the top, if the already superbly well-thought out options don't fit the bill for you, you can customize it from the ground up. That's actually how I came to find TP Quick Search, I was adding YouTube Music as an option and found theat QS includes all the features of context search and then some. oh, and also - next to no permissions necessary and you can elect to use it anonymous if you'd like, you just can't sync (there may be other downsides but I don't think so). I swear, I have no affiliation with TP, just get psyched when I come across sensible, well designed and conceived of software/tools .etc
- (2020-07-17) Adalbert P.: Très très bonne extension ! Elle facilite beaucoup les recherches. Et facile à configurer. C'est étonnant qu'elle n'ait pas plus d'utilisateurs, et ne soit pas plus connue.
- (2020-04-08) Saeed Mohammadi: That's more boosted than 'Instant Multi Search' chrome extension, and works well the same as 'Web Search Pro' firefox addon. Best regards.
- (2020-02-18) Renart la volpe: the ultimate best.
- (2019-11-11) Okita Toshimichi: I deleted all but Yandex and Google Image search but right click context meny keeps showing 5 with Baidu on top!!!!
- (2017-03-22) Philipp Leo: Great instant search. Fully customizable to my needs and easy to use. What is not to love?
- (2017-03-02) Shahin: broken trash. if you gave them permission take your time and go back and remove it. I
- (2016-08-03) Andi Poupsy: Finds, what I like to find faster - without annoying sidesteps. (After some cusomising)
- (2016-08-01) Petra Köstinger: So many amazing features! Try it, it's worth it!
- (2016-07-28) Matthias Jax: Eines der wenigen Plugins die wirklich Sinn machen. Spart Zeit, mach Spaß zu bedienen und ist super einfach.
