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.

very good. so convenient

Custom web search. I 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.

Fantastic. This 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.

6/5 Star. This brings the experience of Chrome’s custom search engines to Safari. I would give it 6 stars if I could.

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!

Perfect for privacy minded people!. I've been using DuckDuckGo as my main search engine for 80% of searches. But, lets be honest, their results aren't the best. Sometimes you just need to Google it. I'm so glad I found this bc I don't have to go to Google.com anymore and then search for the thing that DDG couldn't find. I just enter "g searchterm" and I'm there. $2 well spent! Plus, it works on my iPhone & iPad as well!

Safari search saviour. This 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.

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!

Fastest 2 bucks I ever spent. It’s a simple problem, and here’s an elegant solution. Does exactly what I want. It even has the ability to completely replace the default search engine with one of the engines in the app. It is a little quirky in some ways, for example if you use a non-default engine, click a link, then go back, the extension will override the back request and switch the search to the app’s default. However, I won’t dock anything cause the feature is hidden away under an “advanced” tab, likely due to quirks like this. The main app functionality works perfectly. Edit: Just poked around some more and there are different override modes for the feature I mentioned… that fix the problem I also mentioned. This is why I pay money for apps lol

Awesome but can’t set a default. This 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?

Magnificent. Wow! It’s a must have app…

lost all custom shortcuts after 1.1.0 update. great for active development, but shortcuts reset to defaults after 1.1.0 update. frustrating

This is dumb. That'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.

Great!. Started loving it on iOS and I'm glad it's on Mac now.

Yuck. This app is NOT worth paying for! It does NOT do what it is Said to do it messes EVERYTHING Up

Love, but latest update broke it for me. No longer works for me on the Mac, but still useful on my iPad.

not working on ios 15. not working

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.

Great app, would love a Mac version. Edit: 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.

Too many problems. the idea of the application is great. but most of websites doesn’t work when i tried to creat my own shortcut. I think you have to put help instructions banner for creating shortcuts in proper way And also some ur shortcuts are bugging and doesn’t work too good application but you have so much to do

App is not functional. I am unable to get the app to work. Everytime I try to open it I get "The operation couldn’t be completed. (SFErrorDomain error 1.)". The app remains unusable on my Macbook Pro.

Essential Tool for Safari. This 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.

Works really well. This 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.

Most convoluted backup system I’ve ever seen. I just want the latest changes on all devices. They all somehow constantly aren’t.

Cannot figure out how to add custom search.... ...nor is there any info on how to do it. "App Support" just takes you the the developer's website; clicking on the app takes you to the App Store. I am trying to get a refund, but this is not eligible, unless that is because the purchase ois still pending? HINT TO DEVELOPER: Create a tutorial on how to add customized search engines.

Pure Trash. I was unable to get the app to do anything. Should get my money back.

Meh, Doesn’t Work At All On iPad. This app seemed really cool at first, until I installed it on my iPad too. It works fine on iPhone and Mac but doesn’t work at all on iPad. This is kind of a deal breaker for me. If you use an iPad, don’t throw away money like I did, look somewhere else.

Safari extension adds functionality I have been looking for for years. Seriously amazing.

Profile Mgmt between multiple devices is a nightmare. I have never seen such a horribly designed icloud interface. I just all my devices to use the latest profile.

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.

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!

while cool it still uses the default search engine selected in safari settings. for 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

Great on iOS and macOS, broken on iPadOS. Title says it all. This app is *magic* when it works, which seems to only be on iOS and macOS. No amount of tinkering can get this thing to function on iPadOS, in my experience. Fix that and you have a 5 star app!

Awesome app, please bring override safar engine. Love 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!

great app but….. please support for older macos, too..i can't upgrade from mojave.

Share extension. Please add option to open a new safari tab instead of the web viewer when searching using the share extension. Otherwise great app.

Great!. Very easy and nice design. Works perfect with no problems.

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。

Amazing extension. Very 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!

Incredible. I 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.

macOS support please!. Great app! Makes searching on my iPhone a breeze. One ask, please support Safari on macOS!

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.

❌SEARCH… love at first 🅱️YTE❕. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍🤎❤️🧡💚

CleanMyMac X. Very good so far; we'll see!

Customized searches are such a great tool. Great 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!

Perfect. Was looking to make Brave the default search engine. This did that and much more, thanks to the !bang shortcuts.

Amazing. Really 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.

Brilliant!. Coupled with an ad blocker and a Google AMP redirector, this combo is unstoppable! Honestly brilliant app!!!

Just so simple to use. I’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.

Overrides searches you make on websites. I go to make a search on a website instead of my default selected one then my search gets forced to the website selected on xsearch.

Great solution to safari’s locked down search engines. I 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.

Direct search speed. If 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.

appli $$$. application ne se retrouve pas dans mes abonnements et je dois payer...

非常好的扩展. 切换谷歌和百度搜索方便多了，谢谢作者！
