Second Search 0.5.2008111401


Firefox add-on that allows you to search by other search engines without switching the web-search engine.
Second Search provides a feature to search by other engines directly, without switching the engine of the web-search bar (a small textbox on the right edge of the toolbar.)

In the web-search bar, press the Up key or type some words into the box. Then, a tiny popup will appear above (or left/rightside) the search bar. You can choose an engine by Up or Down key. After you press the Enter key, Firefox searches the terms by the highlighted engine.

Second Search calls the engine directly, so the state of the default engine of the search bar doesn't change. (But if you select an engine from the Second Search popup when there is no term in the search bar, Second Search changes the engine of the search bar to the highlighted.)

And, when you drag some text onto the search bar, engines will be popped up too.
After you drop it to the menu item, it will be searched by the engine.

Three recently used engines will be shown in the popup. If you want to use other engines, choose Search by and press the Right key.

Note: The Second Search add-on is cross-platform and it works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.

Requirements:

  • Firefox 2.0 to 3.0.*


    What's New in This Release:

  • Fixed: It works correctly after you do "search" when the popup was going to be showing.
  • Modified: "by ..." disappeared from the popup.
  • Updated: hu-HU locale is updated by Mikes Kaszman Istvan
