It's so hard to use. Actually it doesn't work at all.

Doesn't work. This would be perfect if you would be able to import your Chrome custom search engines.

So, basically what it will do is if we add multiple search engines then it opens all those URLs in multiple tabs (10 engines = 10 tabs) with that search query. Not what I'm looking for. Thought it will be like 'google custom search engines' but with user-friendly customization.
