It's disgustingly uncomfortable. Intuitively difficult. Not fast. Not effective.

Not working. After entering the phrase and pressing enter, nothing happens.

Claims to do exactly what I want, but does not work on Chrome Version 90.0.4430.85 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Only one of my search keys works, all the rest if I type the key and hit tab, it fills Chrome's first autosuggestion instead of activating multi search.

Would be awesome if would work in other chromium-based browsers.

It doesn't seem to work. I just installed it, and when i click on it, to search it just opens up the chrome webs store each time. :(

It doesn't seem to be working on Vivaldi browser. I installed it on Chromium and Edge and there it indeed registers "m" as a search hotkey and I can use the extension. On Vivaldi, however, it doesn't seem to do this, if I type "m" and space, it doesn't switch to "Instant Multi Search". Is there a way in which I can manually register the hotkey? Or perhaps an update with a fix? Vivaldi is Chromium-based and quite popular and so far every Chrome extension I've used in it seems to work but sadly this one doesn't. Note that "allow control by extensions" is switched on in the search settings. I'll of course edit my review to five stars if resolved. Thanks in any case for the work you've done on this! I tested it in Chromium and it's quite handy

It would be nice if we can use a different hotkey to trigger the search. Using "M" means I have to take my left hand out of position to press the "M" then reposition my hand back into position to type. Keys Q, W,E,R,T or Y would be a better key to trigger the search.

This needs a way to swap quickly between categories. Even allowing options from the toolbar would help. Because having to go into options and clicking and saving each time i need to chage the search category is an absolute pain.

Great idea and simple execution. I use it to search on multiple social media plattforms and for word translation and dictionary lookup at once. *Everything is possible!*

It is pretty good, and I use it all the time. However, sometimes, when I try to save a new group, I'll paste in the search group, and scroll down and click done, and then when I try to use it, it doesn't work. I'll go back in, and the whole thing has vanished - it never saved. A 'save' button per group might be nice, that force saves the group, so you know it's in there to stay.
