Known issues:

Sometimes, the extension icon reverts back from the magnifying glass to default Chrome extension icon. Disabling and enabling the extension again should bring it back. This is perhaps an issue with chrome.contextMenus.removeAll() method.
Favicons for search engines cannot be displayed in context menu currently as the contextMenus API does not allow it.
Taking settings from omnibar search configuration is not possible.
