xSearch for Safari App Reviews

Being able to switch between search engines by typing a letter or so before search terms is amazing forbthe price. Current issue: unable to successfully save my own queries. The "done" button (to save) doesn't work. (Perhaps this would be less important if I could duplicate and then modify certain searches?)

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.

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.

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!

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!

I can finally use Brave as my default search engine in Safari! The “Override Safari Engine” Experimental Feature in the app’s settings works fantastic—it’s crazy fast and works perfectly (Safari will still display predicted Ecosia results (unlike Firefox), and when you tap them it searches Brave—and all your other shortcuts still work)! Just make sure you used the “Blacklist” mode. All the other shortcut possibilities seem useful (namely Wikipedia or Dictionary.com), and I appreciate that the de

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

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!

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.

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!

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

Wow! It’s a must have app…

Very good so far; we'll see!

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

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。

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.

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.

很好用，目前版本还有一个小问题，用Google搜索覆盖Safari搜索引擎后，无法使用图片搜索功能，会自动跳回普通搜索页面。

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

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

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

please support for older macos, too..i can't upgrade from mojave.

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

….Why does the address bar [ᴀA] menu options not do anything whenever I click on xSearch? Is there a function/purpose for having your extension appear in this menu? Thanks in advance for your help.

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!

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.

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

I really like the app, it’s simple but powerful. I hope you consider bringing it to Mac some time in the future.

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.

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

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!

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