Features:

No annoying "That's new in this version" popups after install, neither after updates, no customizations needed from your part.
Customizable (not yet available when on Firefox for Android): If you want to, there's an option that makes clicking the "Search this site" 🔍 toolbar button have a search box pop up before it sends you over to Google. This way you can type what you're looking for while still looking at the page. (learn how to change extension settings) .

Extension safety

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.

Site Searcher requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. 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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

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