Features & Capabilities

An extension for Firefox that takes the current selected text and inputs it into the sites own search field and submits it

This comes from a frustrating moment I had where I was on a site and wanted to search their catalog for an item in a bundle that wasn't linked on their bundle page, but I didn't want to highlight the text and Search on Google, nor copy it and scroll all the way to the top to enter it into the search field, as that would overwrite the primary copy I had in my clipboard. Similar extensions I found seemed to use the google "site:" functionality and still searching via google, but I wanted to use the site's internal search functionality.

So I took an opportunity to try and create an extension, for the exercise. And here we are.

Is Search In Site 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 Site requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.
