Reviews & Comments of Search for a Cause chrome extension

Seems to do what it claims to do. A HUGE tip to the devs though, since you are partnered with Yahoo/Bing you.need.to.specify.this in the description of the app. I am sure that it was a bit of an oversite BUT, not doing so lowers your trustworthiness and negatively effects your relationship with your users (as you can see from many comments that users are upset not having the option to use Google because Yahoo/Bing search results are of lower quality than Google). It is always best practice to be up front about such information to maintain high levels of customer/user trust.

Great idea but I don't like the lack of customization options or the fact that it uses yahoo search engine, I had become so used to using the google search engine, I wish it let you choose. Uninstalling until more options are available.

I like the idea behind this, but why can't I adjust the Yahoo Search options? It enforced a different language on me even though I want it set to English.

I love the idea behind it, but I'm not loving the poor search results and the hideous UI. Also a dark theme is always essential for the eyes.

I really wonder why customization is not possible even though it is obviously Yahoo backed, "Safe Search" option cant be configured. The first page results sometimes dont even contain the famous repository/information page like Wikipedia, Microsoft help page etc. You CAN do that, but you need to display some alternatives that are equivalently accessible/credible. How do these help contribute to charity?

very great, love helping.. <33

I would've rated it higher otherwise, but for some reason, my search result are always in Spanish. Other than that, it's a 5-star.

If it is google search, i'll install this extension back.

Hi, i got this on my chrome book but it is not working could someone help me lease i really want to help with animals. Thank you

i like the idea and as someone who uses google chrome for everything, i wouldn't even be upset about yahoo/bing being used if the search engine had a dark mode.

Really really needs a dark mode. Please

Uninstalled. Tab icon is Yahoo and it says "Powered by Bing" in the footer... Do I need to say more?

WHY can't I use Google. Yahoo won't work with me, and I can't find the Search for a Cause homepage. There may not be one. Worst extension ever.

One question: How do I set it to Google?

Don't give up on it if it looks like it's not working. It takes a bit for it to work, but it'll apply automatically after a few minutes/searches. Only issue: it's Yahoo as a default... how do I change this?? I want Google, please.

A spectacularly easy way to do good! Search for a Cause posts all its financials online so you know the money raised is going to excellent causes.

It didn't work for me. Waste of time. Edit: When I removed extension it worked. It's yahoo, though, so got rid of it.

I Like It But I Want It Not To Set My Search Engine To Google Because I Like Using Bing

It did not show and it just brought me to google

Sticking with tabs for a cause cuz this is honestly trash

This isn't a search engine. It's just a link to google search.

it doesnt work for me, litteraly, it doesnt work.

The searching is fine but its missing googles features like dice and clac. Also the ads blend in to well with the searches making it hard to find the thing I'm looking for.

TL;DR: Bing image, video, shopping, etc. are underrated, and when I click "Images" on a Bing based platform, it would be nice to get Bing image. video, shopping, etc. results. Also, definitions, tools, and Random Number Generation features would be welcome. I really like the idea, and I know the Bing problem has been repeated a million times, but I see a bigger problem. If you want to do Bing, go all out. It has MANY problems, but almost all of the advantages Bing has are washed out by this. Advanced, image and video search, news(ish), shopping and many more are not included. Also when I click on images, videos, shopping, etc. it brings me back to Google. Bing shopping, images, video, and news are underrated, and its only problem (search) is more Google just being good rather than Bing being bad. I have a ton of hope for it, and I'm starting to recommend it. P.S. If there was a way to add calculator, definitions, color picker, metronome, and random number generator features (roll a die, spinner, flip a coin, and random number generator) along with adding Bing video, shopping, images etc. then I would say its better than pure chrome. Plus charity!

nice making me feel that i am helping charity and i bookmark all my favourite websites. just in case i cant find in search

To the people who don't like it, just search what you want, click "Images" and then once you are redirected to google click "All". Solved Otherwise, I would highly recommend this search engine, as I really like Tab For A Cause I got recommended to this extension by HAI (Half as Interesting)/Wendover Productions

The way how Tab for a Cause and Search for a Cause work is fantastic, as I myself usually forget about charity and have no time to devote to it. The site always reminds me to donate a few hearts but I would like to have a few changes: 1. Catch Up with the Speed. The site should load a bit faster. 2. Don't be so tacky. Try to design the site beautifully. 3. Make a heart worth more. 1/10 of a cent is too low to catch up with the need all around the world.

it is great because it is for charity, but tab for a cause doesn't effect search results. if they used google search results and had a few ads up top i would use it. make it look more like google as well

I really want to use search for a cause with tab for a cause, but I simply can not the reason is the search engine. I do not blame search for a cause for this but you guys need to find a way to work with Google. You do great job with wrong partner.

Good Concept. Bad Design. Cons. The Theme Is Not Good. It takes pretty long to get rid of it. They Pretend They Care About feedback but we all now that is going to where the proof of epstein committing suicide, no where. Pros. It Donates to charity which is always honorable

I love it, period.

Its very good, But it defiantly lacks what i thing is an essential to a browser.

This search engine sucks ngl, but since it's a charity thing, i'll give it 4 stars. The engine is ugly, yeah that's it. Maybe in the future it'll look better. But for rn imma stick to my web page.

i just want a way to donate to charity without money so i love this idea

Used to be better than it is now. I've decided to remove the extension because while I like supporting Tab for a Cause through Search for a Cause, the search engine is simply bad. After scrolling through a page of results, the results repeat and only change in order, not the next page of sites. Perhaps if the search results were based off Google, this would work much better.

It's a nice idea. I'm deciding between this and Ekoru.org which cleans oceans with every search and they are hydro-powered. Ocean plastics are becoming ridiculous

I love search for a cause. A plus is the fact that it doesn't collect as much information as most free sites like google. I strongly believe you should advertise the beta of search for a cause on tabs for a cause so that more people are informed of this fantastic extension. It's fast and works well, with seemingly no bugs or issues that need to be attended to. Fabulous work. Edit: I believe that a dark mode should be added, or add a customization for searching the web like the widgets and background for Tab for a Cause. Something extra to appeal to others (mainly because I like having a dark theme).

A free and easy way to help people. Love it

I love the concept! However, Bing search just isn't as good as Google search. As a result of that, I'm not going to continue using this extension. If I could use a search engine that's not Bing, this would be at least 4 stars.

It changes nothing, and I get to help people in need at the same time. Truly wonderful

Listen to the reviews: Don't power it with Bing! Everyone dislikes it. Seriously, this is a problem. I intend to use it, but please don't use Bing anymore. Give me better searches, please-listen to us. But, worthwhile to donate to the water charity that uses investment to put small donations to big use.

I discovered this through Tab for a Cause, which I have been using for a long time. It is a great way to raise money for charity. I understand that it is still in beta, but it does need significant revisions. It does not have a calculator in the tab or in the search bar. It does not have definitions. It lacks the overview of articles/other websites. It activates in incognito, no matter what, and prevents the user from searching without logging in. I do not understand how this happens, especially given that I have disabled it in incognito and that this phenomenon does not occur with tab for a cause. Regardless of its flaws, I acknowledge that it is still in a stage of beta development and nobody should expect it to be perfect yet.

Sad it uses Bing, but good concept. Maybe add a search count on every search engine, probably a bubble that you can customize the position of, so you can put it anywhere.

I really like the idea but as a developer I cannot use this. Day to day when trying to find specific answers to technical questions, BING just doesn't cut the mustard. The results are just poor. In my personal life I may be able to abide bing, but since I work on my personal laptop I just can't have this app installed. Such a shame, please change over to Google search backend.

Great idea. I really want to get behind it, but Bing is holding me back. Bing is such an inferior search engine. If you can make it powered by Google then I'd be all aboard with 5 stars!

Great concept and I'm sticking with it for now (as a huge fan of Tab For a Cause). That being said, it lacks many of Google's features, such as a calculator in the search bar, conversions, translations, and (most importantly) definitions. Its presentation of information is also much less comprehensive than Google's. Overall, it's a great idea but is not the greatest as a search engine. Some polishing is necessary!

Thank you for this! I know this is powered by Bing but if it is for casual searches then this is better than nothing, right? Maybe I'll open another browser for important searches. Are we related to Ecosia because that is what I use for my phone? Tabs and searches for a cause, let's do it!

I love the idea, but the biggest downside is being powered by Bing. I still use it when getting accurate results quickly doesn't matter as much, but I'd love to be able to say I use it for all my searches. Other than Bing's issues, it works pretty well! I love the color scheme. ^^

Until Search for a Cause switches away from Bing and is more transparent about the donation percentages, I will be sticking with Ecosia which uses nearly all of its revenue to plant trees.

An extremely easy way to raise money for multiple different charities! Lovely program and incredible concept!

i love donating to charity's and i suggest it but i wish there was a couple more charity's :)

Great concept, bad execution. Bing.

Amazing idea. Unfortunately it is powered by Bing. Everyone else is saying it already but I will add my review in too so hopefully you (the app developer) can see how many people dislike being forced to use Bing. The inconvenience of ads, I can totally deal with for charity. Bing however, I cannot. Please get google support or at least another option other than Bing. Until then, sadly i'll be sticking to Tab for a Cause and google.

It's great= I love it! it's a must get as a middle schooler surfing the web

The idea is really good, but having to use bing is a big downside for me. For people who don't mind using bing: Absolutey recommended. There's genuinely zero reason to not have this extension. But personally, I'll just stick with Tab for a Cause and using Google.

If it wasn't powered by bing I'd have no problems with it, but since google is the way forward I'll stick to Tab for a cause.

It changed all my data that i searched for and it came up with irrelevant things like stores in the UK rather that Australia, and things in Scotland. I will still use tab for a cause but it was too much of a hassle to find what i wanted.

And here I thought Tabs for a Cause was the most ingenious and effective way to raise money for charity. Now I have both. The extension itself isn't intrusive, and though I wish it would use Google instead of Bing simply because of my own petty preference, that's the only "complaint" I have, and thus I still give 5 stars.

It's an amazing way to donate money, fast and easy. However, it's not as versatile as Google. For example, if you search up the definition of a word, instead of Google printing it out right in front of you, you have to go and click on a dictionary site and then find the definition. Or if you want a flight from New York to Miami, Google shows a list of possible flights right away, but Search for a Cause makes you get a flight on Expedia, Orbitz, etc. Still, thought, it's a great product that can help everyone in the planet!

It's been great, plus it doesn't slow down my browser!

If it used google search instead of bing, I'd be all for it, but bing is just not near as good. Half the time when I google something it's to make sure I spelled it right or to find out what some obscure word means. "Define: " doesn't work and it doesn't give spelling suggestions... Sorry, but looks like I'm sticking with just Tab for a Cause, no Search for a Cause.

This is so cool! I like how my adblocker works with this. I just wish the hearts were shared with my tab for a cause account. i wish the search engine was google, though.

Clean interface, too bad it's bing search & not google/other alternative though

I love this extension so much! It would be better if I could set it to my search on Tab for a Cause though.

LOVE THIS!!! A few suggestions though. Please make the 'sub text' darker and easier to read (example: the "From Wikipedia" under smart results).

Amazing! So easy to raise money for charity!

This is a fantastic extension: looks great and simple to use. Also the easiest way to feel like you're making a difference & raising money for charity.

This is such a simple way to raise money for charity. No brainer!
