Review Summary
Search2 is a highly praised Chrome extension that allows flexible and customizable switching between search engines, beloved by users especially in mainland China. However, multiple reviews highlight issues with UI interference (like the sidebar overlapping YouTube subscriptions), editing bugs for custom search engines, lack of multi-browser support, and missing features such as background tab opening and consistent search bar visibility on all engines. Despite the shortcomings, users are very thankful and find it highly convenient for daily searching tasks.
