Overview

Features & Capabilities

xSearch for Safari makes it easy to switch between search engines on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Use shortcuts such as g apple for Google or ddg apple for DuckDuckGo, search directly from Spotlight, launch searches through URL schemes, or use the share extension from any app.

The app supports multisearch, random engine selection, Last Search Token, Apple Shortcuts integration, iCloud synchronization, and JSON import/export for backups. xSearch is designed with privacy in mind: processing happens locally, and only the current Safari session URL is accessed when required to identify the selected search engine.

User Reviews

Users praise xSearch for Safari as easy to use, powerful with custom engines and shortcuts, privacy-conscious, and affordable. Recurrent drawbacks include poor setup guidance, permission prompts, reliability issues (disappearing extension, inconsistent performance), problematic behavior with certain engines (notably Google), and concerns about privacy claims versus actual data access. Support responsiveness is also noted as a weak point in some reviews. Overall, strong feature-set and value are tempered by setup, reliability, and privacy-related concerns.
Pros
  • Easy and simple to use
  • Powerful with custom search engines and shortcuts
  • Privacy-focused design with minimal permissions
  • Access to Gemini AI, DuckDuckGo, and Bing Images without leaving Safari
  • Good value for money (low price)
Cons
  • Setup instructions are unclear; difficult to configure
  • Requires granting additional permissions; setup can be confusing
  • Reliability issues: extension can disappear from Safari and behave inconsistently
  • Not reliable with some engines (e.g., Google) or redirects to Safari search
  • Conflicting privacy claims; reports that it reads browsing data

I’ve been using it for a while and it’s been working great. It works just how I wanted it to. I had an issue with redirects and the dev was fast in his response and promptly fixed the issue. Highly recommend
