Make the UI more modern with dark mode. Then it would be perfect.
Firstly, I really rate this extension and used to use it all the time, so everything I write below I say while respecting the original developer. However there were a couple of things about the extension that bugged me. First of all, it does not sync user preferences across different computers. So if you sign in to Chrome on a new computer, Chrome will install the extension but your settings will have changed back to default. It's a small thing but it bugged me because I did not like the default multiple-icon popup and always used the extension with only one search icon. Also the settings page I found to be a bit clunky and outdated, and even some of the default icons are now old and outdated. As a hobby I write Chrome extensions and seeing as this extension had not been updated since 2013, I thought I would produce something that meets my own needs with some enhanced features. It is called "One Click Search". It is fairly basic but it fits my needs and if it gets popular I am open to adding new features. You can find it at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/one-click-search/eaafadnjnjkpfeoghedeoadlnebaccbg Thanks for reading
If this project open source? Where is the repo? I can fix some bugs.
Great app, but please fix that upon selecting a word, the pop-up appears in two lines instead of in one, also when, in the extension options, the maximum columns are set to be more than the actual number of used search options.
Doesn't work for Brave.
I've used this tool for a very long time, the best feature I use is its customization capability.
Great idea, terrible execution. After you highlight something you cant select anything other than the stupid popup for the extension.
IT DOESNT compare with opera default select, which even converts money. but its decent. sadly there is little customization available design wise. wouldve loved to have them bigger currently is the best option . selection search is missing clipboard and other features
Would be so much nicer if you could export and import settings. It's not fun redoing all your work each time. Would also be great to be able to disable it on certain sites.
Sad this is a dead project since it had very nice potential...
The option to change the Maximum number of columns doesn't cooperate. Once I add two {tested with two to four} services it drops the last service to a second row. I wanted to use four services and have adjusted the columns a few times: setting it to 4, 10, 40, and 100. This is a pretty big problem, since the popup's offset overlaps with the text that I have selected making it impossible to triple-click and select a paragraph. I don't think I'd have any issues if the columns were fixed, or the popup's offset was adjusted so it didn't sit on the selected text.

Found a better alternative to this, it's called Selection Search. Since this hasn't been updated in almost 3 years, and is missing some nice features that are in Selection Search (especially syncing search engines), I'm uninstalling this.
Nice addon. Good alternative to the no longer around fasterfox (chrome) addon. I have one problem though. I have a dictionary addon (by google) and when I double click a word, first this addon appears and then googles dictionary app (shows me definitions) overlaps this addon. (Pain in the but) As a work around though, Iv changed a setting in the dictionary addon to make it only appear when I hold the CTRL button. Maybe this app could use a setting allowing the user to set where the popup box should appear? (Bellow or above the selected word?)
i was in search of this type of extension when google has disabled fastestfox extension... it is better than fastestfox... can u plz add the dictionary option... or how to add some dictionary related website to direct search a highlighted word... plz help me out... and plz add INDIA.. .IN thanks...

very nice customization options
I love this search bar :) Please can you add Italian as search engines ? Thanks
Great extension
works great. very useful
Is amazing. Saves me lots of time each day. Thank You!!
Absolutely adore this little extension, which I now find indispencible... A little note to fellow torrent users, I had a hard time implementing kickass.to's search engine. I managed to make it work however using this engine url: http://kickass.to/usearch/?q=<<text>>
as ilia proposed, site-blacklist please!
Most friendly search extension to date. Rcomandation for developer: It will be useful to control baloon position and the size and distance of search icons.
VERY. USEFULL. EXTENSION.
