Search Engine Editor

About this add-on

Search Engine Editor is an extension for Firefox (up to version 57), SeaMonkey, Pale Moon, Iceape-UXP and other browsers that support extensions created using XUL overlay technology.

This extension allows you to edit search engine plugins installed in the browser.

The editor is invoked by a button, which extension adds to the browser’s Search Engines Manager.

Additionally, the extension allows you to create and automatically install a search plugin for any Web site that has a search form (a search field) on its pages. For this goal the extension replaces the Add a Keyword for this Search item of this field’s context menu with the Create and Install Plugin for this Search menu item.

Please note:

• The browser does not allow the same name to be used for more then one plugin at a time.
• The browser does not allow to change its default plugins. If you want to change one of those plugins, choose any unused name for the edited version.
• In fact, the browser does not delete its default plugins, but just hides them from the user. For this reason even after such "deletion" you never will be allowed to use their names for any other plugins.
• As a plugin’s icon you may use everything: a local file (specified by a name in the format suitable for the operating system, or in the cross-platform "file:///..." format), a remote file (specified by a URL), or an image encoded as data URI.[br]
  At plugin saving the image will be proportionally scaled down to 16x16 pixels and converted to data URI, so whatever happens to the source file afterwards, it will not affect the plugin.
