Needs more documentation

While writing a negative review about how this extension only works if you use Google, I realized that the extension needs permission to read your searches for each search engine you want to use it with. After fixing that in Safari settings, it works. I recall that there used to be something within the app or extension UI to help walk you through this, but now this app offers no help or explanation. It’s a shame.

Works great and developer is very helpful

I’ve been using it for a while and it’s been working great. It works just how I wanted it to. I had an issue with redirects and the dev was fast in his response and promptly fixed the issue. Highly recommend

INJECTING ADS

C’mon apple do something! They are injecting ads on safari using this extension!!!

They are doing injection using the domain artisticsway.com/

Excellent app

Once you use this you cannot go back. One of those truly indispensable apps. Well done dev!

I don’t know how I ever managed without this extension. Excellent in every way. Clean, minimalist , easy to use.

Excellent

This is such an incredible app. Bought it years ago and the number of search engines that have been added since is amazing. Once you use this you can’t go back. Well done to the dev, nice work!

Don’t trap The snake

Classic title (Lol)

needs a youtube how to video

When I downloaded this I expected it to work like “context search menu”. I looked online for how to videos but couldn’t find any. This is my first time using extensions on safari and didn’t realize there was an app. I think a how to video would have made this a lot easier.

Waste of Money

This app is awful. After enabling it. Then it does nothing. In Safari you click the app icon that opens the dumb xsearch app. Save your money and don't buy it.

doesn’t change default search engine on ios

it doesn’t really do what it claims to to. there doesn’t seem to be a good option.

Works brilliantly

Needs better instructions on how to use it, it’s been trial and error for me. But it does work, and it’s great.

I can report it works!

Does what it says on the tin, and I’m happy to pay a few dollars for that. I tried out another app (Custom Search Engine), but that one is super unreliable. I did make the mistake of not setting the XSearch extension to be allowed “always”, so I thought it wasn’t working to start with. The only complaint is that when I am using Google and navigating between tabs (Web, Images etc), this causes XSearch to kick in and redirect me to my regular search engine, which isn’t helpful.

Intégrer le Français !

Mrs de programmation ou de la conception, comme il vous plaira, rien n’a redire sur l’efficacité de xSearch et ce, tout en sachant que l’anglais est minima de base mais il n’empêche que le Français pourrait être fort pratique pour une utilisation totale de l’Application pour certaines personnes !!!

It’s so worth it

It’s so helpful!

Great app, super nice dev

This app probably delivers the best search engine customization possible in Safari. The dev is also super nice and responsive. I requested a feature (last search token) and within a day or two it was implemented and I was invited to the Beta. By now it’s in the release as well. Thank you!

Super funcional

Doesn’t work

It is no longer possible to create a custom search engine, even with a valid URL and when xSearch has the necessary permissions.

Needs better setup instructions

So I’ve had this extension forever but I’ve never been able to get it to work. Even making sure ONLY this extension was enabled and making sure the prefix was enabled and shortcut phrase was correct. Turns out, there’s an extra final step needed to get the extension to work. In Safari, when you tap the address bar, under the search section you should see an option that says “xSearch” with the icon next to it. You have to tap that and give xSearch the necessary permissions, or it will never work no matter what. Took me this long (months) to finally figure it out. Definitely need better setup instructions for this extension, as well as the ability toto re-access initial setup instructions in case a step gets overlooked.
