Re: Forkin Add To Search Bar: Add as Search Engine
Thanks, this is useful, given that the built in feature to add a search from a page creates a bookmark rather than a search bar entry. Please consider publishing it on the addons site as well.

Re: Forkin Add To Search Bar: Add as Search Engine
Ah, would've been better to link to the addons page then. Since the source repository already is linked to from there. I think there's a way to push the published XPI to Github and have it appear on the releases page.

Thanks tarakbumba, this is exactly the add-on I needed! Very useful when you can't add a search engine from the search bar, and instead have to use the right-click context menu.

Re: Forkin Add To Search Bar: Add as Search Engine
OP, how does this work on URLs that have paths or session IDs or other gibberish in the URL? Does the extension just save the domain portion plus "?=%S" or "s=%S"? Since it is a search bar entry, it's not easy to view what part of the URL is saved.
