This is an essential extension for me. I needed an extension that would let me type in one word and search 7 websites simultaneously (for the curious, I’m making flash cards and I need pronunciations, pictures, definitions, explanations, and translations for my target language). I was able to customize my group and edit it later as my needs changed. My browser always had difficulty showing the “save” button when I was done editing, so I sometimes forgot that it was there and ended up closing my edit window without saving changes. If I could take off only a half star for that minor quibble instead of a full one, I would. True rating: 4.5 stars.
Works fine.
I want to change the websites in the list which I added it at the first install times, but I don’t know how I can make this. Can you give instruction for me? If you don’t have this function, It will be a proposal in order that you can improve your App.
Thank you
It helps me to see if the desired picture is in 10 photobanks. CTLR+N to get a new window, m “Picture content” and immediately I get results from all photobanks, I quickly go through them and when I’m done I simply close the chrome window. It saves a lot of time
It would be nice if we can use a different hotkey to trigger the search. Using “M” means I have to take my left hand out of position to press the “M” then reposition my hand back into position to type. Keys Q, W,E,R,T or Y would be a better key to trigger the search.
THIS IS WHAT I’ve searched for.
That was the thing that I exactly need!
Incribel!
Very useful tool, I replaced the FluentForever multi-search tool with it already. If the developer could add the “select and right click to search” function(adding it to the left-click drop-down menu), this tool will be even greater!
I use this to search multiple website’s inventories at work and it is a life saver. Highly recommend to anyone who often needs to search multiple sites!
I love it, it’s very useful <3
cám ơn chân thành đến nhà phát triển…
This is amazing. If it were possible to trigger the multiple search by selecting text on any app and pressing a specific shortcut, my life would be complete.
This needs a way to swap quickly between categories. Even allowing options from the toolbar would help. Because having to go into options and clicking and saving each time i need to chage the search category is an absolute pain.
i know well its been a while since it was last updated, but still works great! and exactly it does what i expected it to do! if you want to simply search for something based on your personal engines. this is the best for you!
Edit:
I didn’t realize I needed to include the full search URL for each site and replace the query with %s. The instructions could perhaps be a bit more clear on that. It works wonderfully now.
Previous review:
Added several URLs to a new category. It opens the sites but does not actually execute the search on any of them. Clearly it lacks compatibility. Love the concept. It’s likely related to how each site is coded.
THIS is so helpful!!
Great idea and simple execution. I use it to search on multiple social media plattforms and for word translation and dictionary lookup at once. *Everything is possible!*
This is exactly what I need! Just search with a single key phrase in multiple search engines for the same term… However it just doesn’t work (at least with Chrome 69). When I go to the search engines list in Chrome this is what I get:
Search engines added by extensions
Instant Multi Search m
It only shows the default search engine collection that comes pre-set with the exension. When you add a new one, it doesn’t work. Change the keyword from “m” to anything else? Doesn’t work. Try any of the other default search keywords in the extension? Doesn’t work… Is there a way to circumvent this, or is the extension abandoned ( 🙁 I hope note since I’ve been looking all day and nothing comes closer to what I want to do than this). Conceptually this is the perfect power search users’ extension, however practically it doesn’t work at the moment 🙁 Please fix it! Love this one, and if fixed I promise to donate 🙂
Only one of my search keys works, all the rest if I type the key and hit tab, it fills Chrome’s first autosuggestion instead of activating multi search.
Very nice
3 years since last update so this is a long shot:
Would you consider implementing multiple key support to boost useabiity?
ดีมากๆ เพราะผมใช้ค้นรูปภาพและการออกเสียงไปพร้อมกัน ฝึกภาษา
Can’t express how I love this.
love it use it
