Custom Context Search Firefox

Custom Context Search

Context menu and hot-key search with customizable engines.

Features & Capabilities

Custom Context Search streamlines your workflow by letting you search highlighted text using your favorite search engines directly from the context (right-click) menu or a convenient pop-up interface (Ctrl+Shift+F). Perform searches without needing to manually copy text, open new tabs, and paste.

Core Capabilities

  • Right-Click Search: Instantly search selected text on any webpage using your chosen engine via the browser’s context menu.
  • Integrated Multi-Search: Search selected text across multiple pre-selected engines simultaneously, directly from the context menu or the popup.
  • Popup Interface: Use the browser action icon or press Ctrl+Shift+F to open a popup. From here, you can type queries, select a single engine, manage multi-search selections, or access settings.
Key Features
  • Preconfigured Engines: Comes with over 20 common search engines ready to use (Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Wikipedia, Amazon, eBay, Discogs, Jisho, etc.).
  • Custom Engine Support: Add your own search engines by providing a name and a search URL (use %s for the query placeholder).
  • Multi-Search Management: Easily select or deselect engines within the popup to customize which ones are used for the multi-search action. Includes "Select All" / "Deselect All" options.
  • Context Menu Customization: Choose which search engines appear directly in the right-click context menu via checkboxes in the settings.
  • Engine Management: Edit engine names/URLs, remove engines, and reorder your list using drag-and-drop in the settings panel.
  • Efficient Popup: Features a clear button for the search field and auto-initiates a search when changing the selected engine via the dropdown if text is present.
  • Persistent Settings: Your engine list, order, context menu visibility, and last-used single engine are saved locally. Multi-search selections are remembered for your browser session.
  • Privacy-Focused: All operations occur locally in your browser. No search data or user information is collected or transmitted externally.
This extension makes searching faster and more flexible by integrating single and multi-engine searches directly into your Browse context.

Is Custom Context Search Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Custom Context Search requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Medium Allows management of download operations but generally doesn't severely affect security unless misused.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Custom Context Search is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
