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
