Search All Chrome Extension Analysis

Listing positioning

Search All positions itself as a fast and easy way to switch between widely used search engines with a single click. It is marketed as a complement to the Chrome Omnibox, adding features like bookmark search and search history recording.

Inferred product pattern

A search utility extension that provides multi-engine switching but suffers from technical debt and UI conflicts with modern browser versions and popular websites.

Review-backed pain points

Users report invasive ads appearing alongside search results, the extension breaking during browser updates, settings being wiped upon clearing cache, and the tool interfering with website UI elements like search bars.

Observed feature gaps

Lack of hotkey support for the search window, no ability to edit search engines once created (only removal), and no settings import/export functionality.

Support

No specific support or account-related complaints were identified in the provided samples.

Reliability

Significant reliability issues reported, including the extension becoming inert after Chrome updates, losing all custom settings when clearing browser cache, and causing search bars on sites like StackOverflow to disappear.

Privacy

One user reported the insertion of invasive, unsolicited advertisements within search engine result pages.
