XSearch for Safari for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great solution to safari’s locked down search enginesI use this to ensure my Google searches go to my country’s Google site, which Safari won’t allow by itself. Works great and is easy to use..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Safari search saviourThis app is awesome!!! Can we remove the limit that customer defined URL must include "%s", so user can add "shortcuts" for any frequently use URL. e.g. The customer search feature of Microsoft Edge browser on macOS..Version: 1.7.1
✓ IncredibleI often have to use different search engines in my line of work, and it helps to be able to do that so quickly. Everything about it works really well. Except, for whatever reason, it has completely stopped working on my iPad. It works fine on my iPhone, so that leads me to believe that something is up on my end, but I don't really know how to troubleshoot that, and can't find anything online. To the developer: I love your app, and want to keep using it. Is there any help you can offer? If I can get it working again, I'll give this 5 stars..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Customized searches are such a great toolGreat implementation of a sorely need function in Safari. The built-in engines are useful but even better is the ability to add custom searches. I’ve started setting up shortcuts for all the sites I administer, along with some work databases I use every day. Im looking forward to seeing how far I can extend it: domain-based Google searches? Searches for Evernote? Google Docs? It’s very useful to have this easily accessible from Spotlight too!.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Very goodSo convenient.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Awesome app, please bring override safar engineLove the iOS aoo and now love that it's on MacOS. My one request is to please try to bring over the overiding safari engine to MacOS!.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Makes Safari search great!This app fixes one of the problems I had with Safari (the ability to use custom search enginges). Overide Safari search is absolutely astounding..Version: 1.6.3
✓ Nice and SimpleExactly what I was looking for!.Version: 2.1.8
✓ Lost all custom shortcuts after 1.1.0 updateGreat for active development, but shortcuts reset to defaults after 1.1.0 update. frustrating.Version: 1.1.0
✓ 太好使用实验功能“覆盖Safari引擎”的时候，没法用 Google 搜索图片了。 但我还是保留这个功能开启，有按类目搜索的需要的时候再来关闭。 其余非常不错。.Version: 1.6.8
✓ Splendid Extension to Safari on iOSExcellent help from the developer when adding a less popular search too. Neat app. Recommended.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Perfect! A must have!I’m fairly techie but ran into a few hurdles setting up the app. Emailed the developer and he promptly got back to me. A few back and forth emails and I was good to go. Definitely recommend!.Version: 2.1.8
✓ PerfectWas looking to make Brave the default search engine. This did that and much more, thanks to the !bang shortcuts..Version: 1.6.6
✓ Direct search speedIf you have searched for a website to seach on that website, you need this. Search any site directly with a shortcut. Example "rt movie" for rotton tomatoes, look at how the serarch is generated on the website and enter the url %s. Cross platform cloud sync works across iPhone, iPad and Mac, under Settings/Preferences..Version: 1.6.3
✓ Just so simple to useI’ve been using this app when it first came out. And ability to switch search engines just by typing a letter in the front is absolutely amazing. Sometimes I I use Bing search engine and I just a simple as typing b in front in the search bar. Sometimes are use brave search engine which made it so easy to set up and now I just type in BR and it comes up. If you haven’t usef this all I highly recommend this app. Google is not the be all and end all. To have options that she can switch true on the fly is brilliant..Version: 2.1.5
✓ Essential Tool for SafariThis app is incredibly useful. Being able to use a custom default search engine is great (which got even better in the most recent update). Where xSearch really shines is once you add many different search engines and prefixes, especially custom ones. You can even setup something like “gi” to go straight to Google Images, saving yourself a click. I honestly couldn’t use Safari without xSearch at this point..Version: 1.7.1
✓ While cool it still uses the default search engine selected in safari settingsFor example I wanted to use brave search , when you check privacy tracker default search engine will for a moment use the safari setting which is duck duck go then it goes to brave search.Version: 1.6.6
✓ This is dumbThat's what I use to think when I seen this extension but after a while decided to try it since it got really good reviews and I'm trying to switch to DDG, SP, Yandex or Mojeek. I set DDG as my default in safari but occasionally I need to use google or a different engine instead of copying and opening google and pasting the search I can now simply bring up the search bar and put g or whatever shortcut I want in front of the search query and search that engine or website. It also makes searching apps like YouTube much easier since I can put the YouTube shortcut in front of the search and that will open the YouTube app from safari and search. Anyone considering this it's well worth the couple dollars there are hundreds of sites and apps such as Reddit, amazon, Wikipedia, Facebook, news sites, tech sites, shopping sites you can search right from the search bar in safari or add your own if one you need happens to be missing..Version: 1.6.5
✓ Great and a bright futureReally nice to be able to use shortcuts to search using custom search engines it’s just a shame you can’t replace the default Safari search engine as indicated in the change log by not specifying a shortcut..Version: 1.1.4
✓ Fantastic AppLove that i can add prefix to a massive amount of sites nd then search for info specific to each site only. Such a game changer.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Safari extension adds functionality I have been looking for for yearsSeriously amazing..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Works Really WellCustom search engines with keywords, just like desktop browsers. It even has a big gallery so you never need to add one manually. By default, Safari will load its default search engine for a moment before this kicks in, but there’s a beta feature in app settings to make it work correctly. The translations on the settings screen are a bit rough though..Version: 2.4.6
✓ Essential ExtensialIt works perfectly and I could not live without it. One small issue though: the toolbar button keeps coming back a while after removing it. Frankly it's unnecessary..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Custom web searchI use Presearch, but Safari does not provide an option to set up a custom search engine. It's great that this app allows me to use that easily..Version: 1.7.1
✓ AmazingReally great app that does exactly what it should and the developer was extremely quick to respond when I had a question regarding adding custom searches. Been using this for several months now and just remembered now to leave a review. Great app and is well worth the money for me as I use it many times every day..Version: 2.1.8
✓ Thank you for making this app!This app is a daily convenience. The functionality is so good and the implementation is so natural that I feel as if Apple should have the feature as a standard setting in Safari for searching. This app and NOIR for dark mode websites in Safari really improve the user experience. Thanks to both developers. Phenomenal software..Version: 2.1.6
✓ Works really wellThis is built into Chrome, so I was bummed when I needed to do it in Safari, as I have a lot of time invested in Safari across all my devices. This extension is really nice, is cheap, and gave the the exact features I needed. It also syncs to my ipad and iphone. I'm very happy..Version: 1.8.5
✓ FantasticThis is a wonderful application that replicates Chrome’s custom search engine functionality in Safari. Does what it says on the tin, and does it well. A must-have..Version: 2.1.6
✓ Great!Very easy and nice design. Works perfect with no problems..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Dude, GET THIS!If you’ve made a habit of using google for tech stuff and DuckDuckGo for everything else uncensored, GET THIS! No more playing with default search settings, just type the search engine trigger in the address box before your search and that’s it..Version: 1.6.4
✓ Great app but….Please support for older macos, too..i can't upgrade from mojave..Version: 1.5.7
✓ Finally, I can use a custom default search engine in Safari!This has been the #1 thing stopping me from using Safari as my main browser and xSearch has made it possible! I was initially looking for macOS, but I was excited to find that it was also available on iOS and iPad OS. After testing, I'm pleased to say it works just as well there. Give it a try if you need a custom default search engine or want support for multiple engines (accessible by keyword). You won't regret it!.Version: 1.8.5
✓ Great app, would love a Mac versionEdit: thank you for bringing this to Mac as well! I highly recommend this extension! Works great and the dev is very responsive. I really like the app, it’s simple but powerful. I hope you consider bringing it to Mac some time in the future..Version: 1.5.0
✓ 非常好的扩展切换谷歌和百度搜索方便多了，谢谢作者！.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Brilliant appWow, what an app! A few taps and I can curate my own list of search engines for Safari, add and remove shortcuts, search a huge gallery of existing engines, fabulous. Every Safari user should buy this app. Congrats to the dev!.Version: 1.6.7
✓ Override safari engineI don’t usually leave reviews, but once I found that “override safari engine” in settings. A total game changer!! So glad I found this app and it to have it sync to iCloud and use the same settings on my Mac. Amazing. Top notch developer.Version: 2.2.1
✓ MacOS support please!Great app! Makes searching on my iPhone a breeze. One ask, please support Safari on macOS!.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Brilliant!Coupled with an ad blocker and a Google AMP redirector, this combo is unstoppable! Honestly brilliant app!!!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ CleanMyMac XVery good so far; we'll see!.Version: 1.8.2
✓ Spectacular AppThis App is so sick! Now I can search anything on any site by just adding a prefix in Safari~ The preinstalled search engines are about enough and I can even add my own customized search engine. Definitely a good Safari plugin!.Version: 1.6.5
✓ GREAT. If you have Alfred on the Mac side …I use Alfred on my Mac and I can port all of my often used web searches from there to my iPad. Thanks for this extension it’s great..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Couldn't be happierThe app is simple and well documented, yet very powerful. It's insane to think that in 2023 you still cannot pick an arbitrary search engine as your default in Safari, or directly search a specific site with a simple keyword, but at least xSearch has your back..Version: 2.1.8
✓ Restricted no more…Really like this app, can’t fault it for what it provides. Well worth a purchase! What this app does is highlight just how antiquated Apple’s decisions are these days. Don’t get me wrong, I really like my Apple software and products, but some of the restrictions put in place are becoming very tiresome! Let’s face it, with the introduction of content blockers, privacy protection and now extensions, there really is very little benefit of using any other web browser on iOS. The competition has been deliberately hamstrung to keep Safari’s dominance on iOS, we know this and we know the reasons why. It’s just business, as they say. However, let me choose or add my own damn search engine natively! Why do we need an extension to do this most basic of changes?! Credit where it’s due, the dev earns the entrance fee for this extension. Keep riding that revenue till Apple decides to allow you to create custom search engines!.Version: 1.6.6
✓ Amazing extensionVery useful with a good amount of engines in the gallery. If the app doesn't have the search engine you want, just make it yourself. Very easy to use and to make your own search engine for your favorite websites. Great job!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ ❌SEARCH… love at first 🅱️YTE❕❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍🤎❤️🧡💚.Version: 1.8.5
✓ Great!Started loving it on iOS and I'm glad it's on Mac now..Version: 1.5.9
✓ Awesome but can’t set a defaultThis is something I’ve been looking for because I like to use Start Page which is not able to be set as a default search engine natively. Only problem is, this app doesn’t have a way to set a default. Can’t you check for an empty string as the keyword?.Version: 1.0
✓ Super useful!This is super useful for both changing the default search engine in Safari, and handling keyword searches! One bug I came across with the default search engine feature is that clicking links in google docs opens the search engine with the url as the search text. Could you please fix this? Thanks!.Version: 1.8.5
✓ MagnificentWow! It’s a must have app….Version: 1.8.3
