徐创 (ID: 000000183ae77a33) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/21/2023 好评!!!这款软件很符合我的第一需求——软件具有类似360等其他浏览器下拉选择常驻搜索引擎的功能。而且图标很醒目的显示出当前所使用的搜索引擎,好评。但是有些不足,本来只想给4星的,但是为了鼓励作者能继续深入开发,我选择打5颗星。 【希望增加的功能】①如果地址栏(即搜索栏、搜索框)中已经有非网址内容,那么切换搜索引擎能直接跳转搜索。【优点】当前搜索引擎检索不出满意的结果时,使用其他搜索引擎重新搜索仅需要点击图标切换其他搜索引擎。这样节省了重复输入相同内容的时间。②快捷键,切换下一个搜索引擎、切换上一个搜索引擎、自定义快捷键切换目标搜索引擎。【优点】省去找图标、点击图标并选择搜索引擎的时间。 【希望调整的功能】鼠标左键点击图标的功能转移到鼠标右键点击图标。鼠标左键点击图标功能改为直接切换下一个搜索引擎、上一个搜索引擎或者自定义目标搜素引擎,可通过设置选项选择。【优点】这样当前搜索引擎搜索结果不理想时,切换其他常用搜索引擎仅需右键点击一下图标,省去选择搜索引擎的步骤。
