Is there an addon which lets you build your search locations and then search in them in a click of a button? (rather to choose from a predefined search engines)

I am searching for an add on that would let me build my search locations quick access. Is there an addon that would allow me to search currently selected text in my customized locations rather in the big search engines that are included in these kind of addons by the devs themselves. And even better, is there an app that would let me search in multiple self defined websites (websites that have a search engine, not searched within a page) with a click of a button? Thanks.

These may be what you want.

Add to Search Bar {web link} Make any pages' search functionality available in the Search Bar


Context Search {web link} Expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine you want to use for each search.

Thanks the Context Search addon helps, but is there an addon that would add to the context menu different selections for the search engines instead of one that opens more selections? And better is there an addon that adds to the context menu a selection which searches on multiple engines? thanks

Context Search is a good search helper. All you do is highlight the text you want to search for on the page, right click, and search using any engine you have installed.
