Claims "Add in other websites you commonly use the search feature for". Wrong. There are no options you can edit, like adding/removing/editing the list of search engines presented in the popup menu for "Selection Search for Microsoft Edge" entry in context menu. You can go to "manage" for the extension, but there is no "Extension options" link. This extension comes preset with Yandex which I will never use. I also cannot add any other search engines than their preset list. I cannot remove those I won't use. If you're happy with their fixed list of search engines, go for it. I'm not interested in a non-configurable search list.
