How to search on multiple subtitle sites in ONE GO without paying dime

[KneeRow]

(it should be: A dime, of course!)
This will be my second guide, and it won't be as extensive or as extremely funny as the first one.
As usual, you can ignore AND even skip the green stuff:

If you wanna search 15 subtitle sites of your choosing with just one click AT THE SAME TIME, in background tabs, Yes You Can! with this addon.
Whether it's searching 53 torrent sites (my record), or 7 video sites, or maybe a combination of 5 torrent-sites plus 7 subtitle-sites plus 13 video-sites, you can do that with this addon.

The great thing about this addon is that it's really fully configurable, but it comes with preconfigured settings if you just can't be bothered.

No other add-on has its versatility, the others are all limited to sites that they are affiliated with. Soyapi's SearchWith is completely independent.

If you do decide to configure it to your needs follow this guide.

Tools needed
1. Firefox
2. its add-on Search With, here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchwith/?src=search
3. the urls of all subtitlles sites you wanna search on

The result:
If it all works out you only need to select the title of a movie or tv show, context menu it twice, and tabs in the background will open with the searches.

remarks
a. Okay, so yes, this is largely a guide on how to use that add-on
b. the smartest among you will soon realize that you can use this add-on for EVERYTHING, not just finding subs.

Para empezar!


0. Install the add-on
1. Open the SearchWith Options dialog box by right clicking anywhere on a webpage (preferably a spot without links, especially those links that say "yes! publish all my passwords and nude pics NOW!")
2. Click on the Search With option, then on Manage Services, perhaps at the bottom of the menu. A dialog box SearchWith Options opens
3. You will see 3 tabs. Services / Engines / General (I never bothered to find out what the 3rd one does, if ne1 can tell, kewl)
4a. We're gonna name a Service. Click on the Services tab, then type a name you choose into the box called Service Name e.g. SearchMySubs. Copy this name with Ctrl-C . Now you click the button Add Service (obviouslee)
4b. Then, in the Edit Service dialogbox that comes up, paste or type the same exact name again in Service Name field there and hit OK.

5a. Skip to Step 9 to see how to get INPUT for step 5b., the Engines.
5b. Now we're gonna add a couple of Engines, by by clicking on the Engines tab. In this example we will create an engine for the site http://subsearch.org So, you've guessed it, we will type into the box called Engine Name the name Subsearch, and click the button Add Engine. You can only add one engine per site.

In the appearing "Edit Engine" dialog box, fill out the first 3 fields.

Engine Name: "Subsearch" (this will already be filled out)

Search Address: For example, "http://subsearch.org/search/"

Extra Options: For example "/en/4/0/0"

optional: Icon Path http://subsearch.org/favicon.ico

If you're looking for the subs to the movie Kick-ass this all will produce an URL which will be like this:

http://subsearch.org/search/Kick-ass/en/4/0/0

6. Attach the engine to the service by using the "Service" drop down menu at the bottom to pick the service you just set, in our example, SearchMySubs service
Click OK when finished.

Troubleshooting step 6:
a. sometimes the name of the Service you picked, won't show up in the dropdown box, in that case click on the lowest place of that dropdown box, this will most likely be the Service you picked, even if you don't see it.
b. [OK] out of the Edit Engine box, and go to the Service tab. Scroll down to the lowest possible point and click there, EVEN IF YOU SEE NO NAME OR ANYTHING. Re-open the Edit Service box. Fill out the name of your service in the box called Service Name e.g. SearchMySubs. Your added Engine should be in the list below, click on it, then [OK] out of the Edit Service box.

7. Repeat step 5b. and 6 for every engine you want to add to your subtitle service.

8. [OK] out of all. Now, you can use it.
8.1 Select a name of a movie and give a right click
8.2 go to {Search With} and then click on your newly created service e.g. SearchMySubs.


9. To get what is necessary to fill out the fields of each engine, do a normal search on each site first. For example if you're looking for subs for KickAss on the sites
-sub-titles.net, or,
-subscene.com, or,
-subsearch.org
then you will see you lines like these in the location URL box at the top of your browser:

-http://www.sub-titles.net/en/ppodnapisi/search?tbsl=1&asdp=0&sK=KickAss&sM=&sJ=0&submit=Search&sAKA=1&sY=&sR=
-http://subscene.com/subtitles/title.aspx?q=KickAss
-http://subsearch.org/search/KickAss/en/4/0/0

Notice 1: that everything before the bolded "KickAss" goes into the Search Address field and everything after goes into the Extra Options field.

Notice 2: Remember that it's always one Service with more Engines attached to it.

So, from now on, you can select a movie name, in any text on any website and it doesn't need to be a link, e.g. Kickass and right click it, then pick "Search With", then pick "SearchMySubs", or whatever you've named the service. Now all those sites with open in background tab.

You can do the same thing for torrentsites, or housing sites or carsites or laptop sites or whichever sites you want, of course.

Have fun and complain below, if you DARE!!
