What would you like to know?

It is a Firefox toolbar search builder. Keywords and optional fields become one Yahoo query. A wider page lets you keep Search beside Presets and Filters.

Desktop Firefox 140 or later. Android support has not been tested or declared in the manifest.

FindWhiz is distributed directly from findwhiz.com and signed by Mozilla. It has no public Mozilla addons store listing. Firefox uses the update file on this site to find signed updates.

No. There is no FindWhiz account or sign in. Your forms and preferences stay in Firefox on your device.

Open FindWhiz from the Firefox toolbar or extensions menu. If welcome is unfinished, choose "I accept" there and open the toolbar button again. That button records setup completion only.

This addon requests permission to update your default search engine to Yahoo. Firefox asks separately. You can decline that change or choose another default later in Firefox Settings under Search.

Yes. The popup still builds and opens Yahoo queries if you decline the default search change. Completing welcome does not accept that change.

No. The popup, wider builder and fw address bar shortcut open searches directly on Yahoo. Your normal browser default can be something else.

FindWhiz puts quotation marks around the phrase. Enter the words without adding your own quotes. Yahoo decides how to use the operator.

Separate alternatives with commas. They become a group joined by OR. Separate excluded words with spaces. Each gets an exclusion sign.

Choose a chip to use its domain. Choose it again to clear it. Typing a custom domain clears the selected chip. The defaults are YouTube, Amazon, Target, Wikipedia, Pinterest, Yelp and Reddit.

Yes. Add, remove, reorder or reset up to 12 chips in Settings. Their names and domains stay in Firefox local extension storage.

Any time, past day, week or month, plus 12 countries and Any region. Yahoo does not document these URL options, and they may change. There is no year filter or language picker.

The preview shows the query FindWhiz builds. Yahoo controls how it handles operators, time and region. FindWhiz cannot guarantee a particular result set.

Yes, including Keywords and Site. In Filters, switch a card off to leave it out of the query. Drag Move or use Up and Down to set the order of visible fields.

Up to 20 named forms, with trimmed names of up to 40 characters. Each stores fields, filter order, enabled state, time and region. Saving the same name replaces it.

No. Clear form empties fields, time and region. Saved presets remain until you delete them or clear the extension data. Turning remembering off keeps presets too.

Turning it off removes saved field values. New typing, time and region clear when that builder closes. Card preferences, presets and site chips remain in Firefox.

Yes. Settings lets you choose a new results tab or the current one. A new tab is the default. The fw shortcut follows that setting too.

Use the expand button in the popup. Your current form carries over locally, even with remembering off. On a wide screen, Search is beside Presets and Filters.

Select text and choose "Search with FindWhiz". The contextMenus permission enables that item. It fills Keywords in the wider builder. Text goes to Yahoo only if you press Search, and is never sent to FindWhiz.

Type fw, then a space and text, for a plain Yahoo search. Submit without text to open the wider builder. If welcome is unfinished, the gated builder opens setup first.

No. The builder combines fields on your device. Opening results sends the query directly to Yahoo, which receives the usual request information such as your IP address. Yahoo has its own privacy practices.

Firefox offers technicalAndInteraction as optional and checks the box by default during installation. It controls install and default search status messages into the eligible FindWhiz install page. Declining it leaves the builder available.

Yes. In about:addons, open FindWhiz and choose Permissions and data. Turning the optional setting off stops pending messages. The extension reads the saved choice and requests no permission itself.

One boolean flag: extInstalled, then at most one searchEngineAccepted or searchEngineNotAccepted. There is no query, identifier or attribution data. They stay in the browser, with no server report.

On a fresh install with the optional data choice off, FindWhiz opens Thanks once. No automatic welcome tab or install page messages are sent then. Open the toolbar button to reach welcome.

No. It reads and writes no cookies and sends no API reports. These website files use no analytics, cookies or browser storage. Sending the contact form uses FormSubmit.

Firefox removes saved presets, settings and site chips with the extension data. FindWhiz has no server copy to restore. Reinstalling starts with defaults.

Remove it from the Firefox Extensions list. Then open Firefox Settings under Search and check the default you want. The extension registers no uninstall URL and sends no uninstall report.
