SearchWith 0.3 Released

SearchWith 0.3 has been released and is now available for download over at Mozilla's Addons site: http://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2194

Development of this version focused on the Advanced Search dialog which can be accessed by SHIFT+Clicking on one of the SearchWith menu options or clicking any option when no text has been selected/highlighted on the current page.

The Advanced Search now includes:
  • The Edit Selected Text dialog is now called Advanced Search
  • SHIFT+Click to access it as before
  • Lists engines of the same Search Service (e.g. News). Address Bar lists uncategorized engines. All Services lists all engines.
  • Allows selecting multiple engines to search concurrently. Click Select All or hold down CTRL key and select the engines to search with.
  • When you only select one engine, it becomes the default engine.
Other new features in this release include:
  • Double click engine in any list of engines to edit it
  • CTRL+Click to add quotes to the search query
  • Easily add engines to a selected service by clicking More Engines ...
  • Added Video and News search engines
