Amazing. I can't believe this ancient extension doesn't have more users! Very simple; it uses the regular Firefox search site list (with the option to ignore some). I used other context search extensions for years, but this one is the best.

Installed, and listed under Add ons however, there is no option in the search bar for Advanced search, nor any icon for it in the Add on toolbar in my FF 119. Sorry. Yet this could be helpful since Google,etc. no longer regards minus -exclusions in searches.
