Features & Capabilities

Firefox makes it easy to run searches on different sites--you can even assign shortcuts to them in Preferences -> Search. For example, you could set 'y' as the keyword for "YouTube" and type "y my search query" in the address bar to run that search on YouTube instead of your default search engine.

Where this add-on comes into play is if you want to run the same search again on a different engine. If you have your keyword for "Google, limited to the past three months" set to 'g3m' and want to run the query you typed for YouTube on that instead you cannot just change the 'y' to 'g3m' because your query has already been replaced with the address of the search results. With this installed, you can type "sa g3m" and it will attempt to read your query from the URL and run it again on the search engine associated with 'g3m'.

Is Search Again 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.

Search Again requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

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