Open In Sidebar option added to Search Actions in v1.9.9. There are limitations, however.
1. No POST engine compatibility
2. Sidebar must be opened manually by the user to see results
There are likely more issues but I haven't tested much.

I can give it a shot. If you have a github account and are familiar with sideloading, you can start a thread at the support site and help test the progress.
I tried that a while back but the sidebar isn't handled like a regular tab and some things simply won't work. POST engines fail completely as a result of the limited back-end. I'll give the API another look, but I think it's intended more for as a UI for the add-on, not an alternative tab for browsing or search results.

- Rated 4 out of 5by TheInvoker, 7 days agoSarebbe perfetta se nel campo di ricerca ci fossero i suggerimenti (almeno quelli di google) e fosse possibile aggiungere un traduttore

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jean-Ricky, 4 months agoMUCH MORE than contextual (select text & launch) search
MULTIPLE SITES (not only "whole web" - as Google & the likes) search engines AT ONCE
makes this add-on UNIQUE !
Besides, it is HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE : provides
• different KINDS OF OF MENUS (Context/Quick/Toolbar/Sidebar) to launch searches
• many UI CONFIGURATIONS OPTIONS to fit your likes
Just a [very] few points to note :
• too many options (time to master) ?
• missing tool-tips & not always detailed enough ones...
Whatever: unique & powerful
