User Reviews
I wonder if we could instead put a {{query}} in an additional search engine as a placeholder.
This is because on many sites, search queries are often found between slashes or search parameters rather than at the end of the URL.
Because of that it limits the ability to add many other sites.

Is Search in Sidebar 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 in Sidebar requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
Risk impact analysis details
- High Allows the extension to observe and analyze traffic in flight for the selected hosts.
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 in Sidebar is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
