Recently chrome extension was promoting manifest v3, so I took this opportunity to refactor the joplin-search-integration chrome extension, almost completely rewriting it. It has been submitted to the chrome store for review. It may take a while for the store to be officially launched, but you can install the zip version yourself to try it out. ref: https://joplin-utils.rxliuli.com/en-US/joplin-search-integration/
If you don't know what it is, here is an introduction (strange, this plugin was written before and didn't post a separate post in the forum)
It displays joplin notes in the search results, currently supports Google/Bing/Baidu/DuckDuckGo/Searx/MetaGer, if you want to support other search engines, you can submit issue/pr.
Changelog
Refactored to support chrome extension manifest v3
The react framework and surrounding dependencies are no longer used, which greatly reduces the bundle size, 1086kb => 110kb
Support switching between light and dark themes
Support opening notes in joplin
FAQ
What does token/port refer to and where can I find it?
You can usually see it in Tools > Options > Web Clipper
Contribute
If you want to add new search engine support, you can raise an issue, or fork it
and then modify it to mention PR (very simple)
in manifest.json add the url of matching search engine
Hi rxliuli
It seem a very good tool. Are you considering to extend this extension for Firefox? And DuckDuckGo search engines? Thanks for this and your others very useful tools for integrating to Joplin app.
Are you considering to extend this extension for Firefox?
Currently this requirement is blocked, because chrome will not support manifest v2 soon, and firefox has not yet supported manifest v3, so it will be a bit troublesome
If yes, can you help me to test if it can be installed from firefox extension store? If not, is it possible to download the zip file and try to install it in debug mode
Awesome. Thanks a lot!!!!!!.
Sure, I can test it.
Unfortunately, I cannot download add-on directly from Firefox store, not sure if there is no available, or I could find the link to download it, all the page shows appear in Chinese. Then I entered the Firefox store in English, and there is not any add on under Joplin and integration term (only the Joplin web clipper, or MemoInjo add-on showing).
Going to test it using a zip file provided by you, I am not sure if this is not working, or I did not know how to test it.
Although I could install it after changing to debug mode, I could not configure the token, because I could not find the place to include it in Firefox after clicking OK in the below screenshot.

Yes, it's currently not searchable as it hasn't finished reviewing, which can be very slow due to firefox's requirement to have to upload source code files.

I can see the settings option in the plugin's popup window, maybe I should turn it on automatically.
Right, Sorry, I have made focus on Firefox debug panel looking for the way to enter it, and I was not aware I have two Joplin icon in plugin popup window one belongs to Joplin web clipper and second one to your plugin.
maybe I should turn it on automatically.
Or include a different color or icon to differentiate with the Joplin web clipper.
Anyway, the search integration plugin working perfect. Thanks for including it to use. In some cases it is very useful to avoid searching again the same topic, when we had already done some time ago.
@rxliuli Thanks for the great extension! Really like this idea. It doesn't seem to be working for me though. I'm on Firefox (Linux), using version 0.2.3. I put the token in the settings but none of my notes show up when searching on Duckduckgo/Google.
This is my fault, the one in the chrome store is 0.2.0, it doesn't contain the search engine yet, I have uploaded 0.2.3, maybe you can try google serach first.
Hi I have checked again using new add-on version 0.2.4 running Firefox 108.0.1 and DuckDuckGo search engine under Linux Ubuntu 22.04 and this plugin works properly without any issue and as I expected. And as you have mentioned, I was aware Joplin Icon on popup disappear, and I can see it keeping the token set up under add-on "preference" tab.
