Extension summary

Analyze keywords

It's simple: select some text, right-click, and search on your preferred search engines.

Configuring your search engines is very easy: There are multiple pre-configured search engines to pick from (like Amazon, BBC, CNN, etc.), plus you can add any other you might like. To add new search engines, follow instructions in the Help section of the Options page.

Once a new search engine is configured, it will show up the next time you select some text in your browser, right-click it, and go to the Simple = Select + Search menu option.

It's my first public extension. I hope you like it.

for some reason after the last update the first time I use it nothing happens I have to right click select etc. again for anything to happen, it also seems every time it updates it loses my settings but that not a big issue as it is SUPER easy to import the old settings I'm SO glad that is something the Dev thought about before they updated. I just don't know why it is taking 2 queries to work as I love this extension this is the first thing that bothers me

Used it for a long time and was happy with it. Now it updates all the time and the settings are lost. What happened?

Auparavant, c'était une extension utile, maintenant elle est très agaçante. Les mises à jour intempestives, utilisées comme prétexte pour solliciter des dons plusieurs fois par semaine, réinitialisent les paramètres et les moteurs de recherche de l'utilisateur, faisant de l'extension un fardeau plutôt qu'une utilité.
