The idea is great and the example pics they show on here are basically accurate, it does let you select any search engines you want but also doesn't seem to have any problems with non-search-engines for some reason. However all that is a moot point since no matter what you choose at all the whole thing doesn't work anyway. it seems to try but always brought me back to google anyway, but with a blank search page open. No search results. Besides i didn't even have google as one of my choices! i give it 2* for the idea and for it almost working. PLEASE FIX!!! I'd use this extension for sure if it did work.

It doesn't work for me. Completed: - added the domain of the search engine (the site where the search is supposed to be); - opened a new tab in the browser; - the tab displays all the entered domains; - I entered a search phrase; - I pressed Enter; - Chrome redirected me to the Google page. Is used: - Win 10 x64; - Chrome.

It search through the sites with google. Would be cool to have multiple search engines on the new tab page.
