Yeah bro. You really need to work on this. It's really bad.

Does not work at all. it says you can modify the shortcut, but it doesn't actually open anything to do so

does not work. at all. does absolutely nothing. when I click on the extension icon from the toolbar, it simply shows a menu saying I can use ctrl+space (or cmd+space if you're on mac). then there's a button to "test spotlight". when I click the button, nothing happens. when I try ctrl+space, nothing happens. and it's extremely dumb to even have cmd+space (which is a system command) as the shortcut for the extension – not like it works, anyway. i don't trust this extension and removed it as soon as I saw it did nothing. probably made to steal data. probably don't install this. might be malicious.

Is Spotlight Search 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.
Spotlight Search 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 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.
Spotlight Search may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
