I was looking for an addon that can:

1. search highlighted text via right-click
2. let me customize what search engine to use
3. let me choose from my already installed search plugins

And I tried many addons. They all had some flaw, whether they were not really customizable and/or didn't let me choose from my already installed searches.

"Search With" is the only addon that does the job. So I don't understand the critics. Maybe a competitor?

Anyway, good job! Thanks!

EDIT:

Some suggestions for the user interface:

1. Please add an option to open search in a foreground tab. At the moment it only opens in the background and this is annoying when you want to go there immediately.

2. Management of the services. When adding a service there is a little link to "More engines", thus opening a second subwindow. So then the user has a stack of three dialog windows. It would be better to have one window pane for editing a service on which on the right side it displays the available engines. And then the user can just select in the list of engines on the right side and add them to the left side. Would be much more user-friendly and less confusing.

Thanks for reading!
