QuickSearch Firefox

QuickSearch

An omnibox add-on to make templatize frequent URLs, searches and bookmarks as well!

Features & Capabilities

Ever find yourself visiting a search engine (mostly in corporate settings), waiting for it to load and then type in the search term and wait again for the results or searching for something that you know exactly the URL for but don't like typing.

QuickSearch allows you to configure templates and bookmarks with corresponding keywords to quickly execute a template search or URL. It uses the omnibox APIs from the firefox browser and replaces your text totally offline. The extension lets you add any URL you like (with a limitation of a HTTP GET based workflow and only 1 template variable at the time).

Some examples for templates:

This addon can save that one second off your hyper-concentrated developer time when you are absorbed on working something.

Is QuickSearch 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.

QuickSearch does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Low Allows usage of omnibox input, negligible risk as it pertains largely to user input enhancements.
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.

QuickSearch has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
