SearchJumper also provides the function of adding settings page, allowing you to add customized search settings according to your personal preferences and needs. In SearchJumper's settings page, you can freely add and manage various search engines, websites, and tools. You can make your most used search engine your default search engine, or add site-specific search capabilities. For example, you can add search capabilities for Wikipedia, YouTube, or other popular sites into SearchJumper to search directly from the settings page. This allows you to personalize SearchJumper and search according to your preferences and needs.

Filter search keywords or url

This item determines what text is selected or what link is pointed to before the engine will be displayed. It can be used to filter special objects, such as links to designated network disks/pure numbers/text starting with a certain character, etc.

URL RegExp of site for matching engine

This item determines whether the currently browsed page corresponds to this engine.

Manually add engine

If you can't use Quick add, you can add the engine manually. Just observe the address bar and replace the query keyword in the URL with %s to get the engine address. For other situations (such as post/non-UTF8 encoding), please refer to the description table on the settings page.
