I gave this a good review anyway. How is this different than typing this into search such as Mario site:reddit.com ? Also for forums you can adding whateverforum.com/subforum. OK i Tried this briefly. You can make a search plugin and add site searches using google for any website. Then right click text and select the search engine. easier with classical search bar. Just put the icon between the search bar and address bar. Another neat function you can do manually is typing filetype:mpg OR filetype:avi OR filetype:mp4 OR filetype:wmv to search video file types. just add a capital or and make it a search plugin. Then if you search for specific videos you will get links to videos. works with documents and all kinds of filetypes.

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