Aug 29, 2022
- Keyboard shortcuts set in Firefox’s “Manage Extension Shortcuts” menu are now no longer overridden when starting the browser, and you cannot set them in the add-on’s settings menu anymore.
New in Swift Selection Search 3.47.5 (Feb 28, 2022)

New in Swift Selection Search 3.47.3 (Jan 11, 2021)
- Minor fix for the Google Translate default search engine.
- Small text changes in the options page.
New in Swift Selection Search 3.47.2 (Dec 18, 2020)
- Fixed problems with opening searches in the previous version, mainly if “new tab” add-ons were installed.
- Sadly, as a consequence of the fix above, engines imported from the browser can again only use “Open in this tab” / ”Open in new tab” as click behaviours.
- Fixed being able to change the name of engines imported from the browser, and therefore breaking them.
New in Swift Selection Search 3.47.0 (Dec 14, 2020)
- Added support for groups of engines (click a group to search using all engines contained within). [Thanks to Igor Costa!]
- Engines imported from the browser can now use all click behaviours instead of only “Open in this tab” / ”Open in new tab”. [Thanks to Igor Costa!]
- Mitigated problem causing “Discard on open” engines to sometimes not having time to search before the tab got discarded.
- Minor cosmetic and text changes/fixes in settings page.
- Minor changes to default search engines.
New in Swift Selection Search 3.46.0 (Sep 28, 2020)
- Added support for associating single-key shortcuts with the search engines, to use while the popup is open (or, optionally, without requiring the popup at all). Tabbing through the engine icons in the popup is now also possible. [Huge thanks to Igor Costa for implementing the new features!]
- Minor changes to the way confirmations of certain actions work in the options page.
New in Swift Selection Search 3.44.0 (Aug 3, 2020)

New in Swift Selection Search 3.42.0 (Apr 2, 2020)

New in Swift Selection Search 3.41.2 (Mar 23, 2020)
- Fixed popup being positioned outside the page in some websites like YouTube.
New in Swift Selection Search 3.40.3 (Dec 3, 2019)
- Fixed browser-imported engines not working since previous version.
- Fixed Ctrl, Cmd, Shift, and Alt keys closing the popup since previous version.
New in Swift Selection Search 3.40.2 (Dec 2, 2019)
- This version requires Firefox 63 or later. To users of older Firefox versions, I apologize! It was necessary to access new browser features and to simplify code and tests. For older browsers you should be able to keep using SSS 3.33.1, which is quite stable.
- Changes:
- Added an optional text box to the popup that displays the selected text and allows modifications before searching.
- Search engines now support text encodings (in the Options menu, press an engine to expand its sub-options). Useful for websites that don’t use UTF8 in their search. These are usually websites in languages with non-latin alphabets like Japanese, Chinese, etc.
- Added an experimental “Custom CSS” setting in the options menu, so you can provide additional stylings to the popup if you wish.
- The “Downloads” permission is now requested to new users only when they export their settings (not on installing the extension).
- Added optional scale animation for popup icons.
- Removed “Show in popup” and “Show in context menu” from the engine sub-options (you can still use the checkboxes to the left, as normal).
- Fixes:
- Fixed popup not appearing in some websites due to overly non-specific CSS (developer note: SSS now uses Shadow DOM).
- Fixed some options not updating immediately on open pages after a change (such as the popup opening behaviour).
- Fixed popup not disappearing after some text selections being removed via backspace presses in an editable field
New in Swift Selection Search 3.33.1 (Oct 30, 2019)
- Fixed auto adding “http://” before search URLs containing a protocol without slashes.
