Add custom search engine — Tom Schuster

Ocena uporabnika bwaldron

Was great when it worked. Nowadays, I get an error each time I try to add a new search engine: "Firefox could not download the search plugin from:
https://file.io/XXXXXX". I have switched to the "Search Engines Helper" which also uses file.io, but works fine on my system.

UPDATE: in response to dev's question: I can visit that file.io page with no problem. The Search Engines Helper addon also uses file.io as yours does, but it works for me.

UPDATE 2: Note that I can actually manually access the file.io URL that the "download error" dalog gives me by entering it in the URL bar -- I see the source of the XML file. Hope that helps!

UPDATE 3: After updating to new version (1.8), all is working properly again, so I have revised my lowered rating to reflect my true opinion of this very useful add-on.

This probably means you are getting blocked by file.io, does this https://file.io/?expires=1d say "Too many requests" ?

Edit: Can you test version 1.8? If it still doesn't work please go to https://github.com/evilpie/add-custom-search-engine/issues so I can debug this a bit easier. Thank you!

good stuff, thanks!

tip for those writing custom github searches:

wrap your search placeholder (%s) in double quotes

this is the oldest (longest-used) add-on in my Firefox which is still installed.

I remember having a bliss to use this add-on instead of manually editing XMLs and starting a local web server so Firefox recognizes them.

I don't have it enabled all the time but from time to time I still enable it to add a search engine. A shame this is a hassle to do in Firefox without, other browsers I use don't have such problems. Also it's sad there is no easy way to edit a search after it's added, without re-adding it with the edits.
