What i really want:
- I want a search bar, that is always visible, where i can enter words to be searched. When i press enter it should be searched with my default search engine.
- Right next to this search bar should be some buttons for alternative search engines or websites like Wikipedia, amazon or whatever, that i can push instead of pressing enter.
- After the website is opened, the words in the search bar should turn into buttons. When i press the button it should jump to this word in the open website. Like it would when i open strg+f and type in this word and click on the "arrow right" button.
- There must be an option to highlight these words in every open website. So if this option is activated, the buttons are colored, and every find in the website displayed too.
Basically these are the functions of the Firefox addon „searchwp“ what is not available anymore.

This is he most useful addon i have ever used. And i cannot live without that.
So some comments from me:
To 1.: I will never understand why it switches back displaying the complete URL. What is interesting to see it except the highlighted part = domain you are surfing on? I would like to see my search instead of this for example: „https://www.ardmediathek.de/ard/player/Y3JpZDovL3dkci5kZS9CZWl0cmFnLTUwZWVjZjMyLTlmNGUtNGI2Yi04NWZjLTA3ZmY4ZTZmMDIwZA/kaiserslautern-gegen-nuernberg“
To 2.: So when i begin to type in the address bar, i get this all. I could live with that.
To 3.: When you search for an error message for example, and your result is a forum page with a lot posts, how can you find what you are searching for? Wanna read all posts? What you really do first is searching for your search words. It is so much helpful to have a button for that.
To 4.: When you can highlight these words, you see first second what you are searching for on a website. I really do miss that.
