Summary

Analyze keywords

Search Shortcut is an extension that allows you to focus on the main search box in any webpage by simply pressing Ctrl+Y (and Control+Y on macOS).

I have developed Search Shortcut based on the observation that an overwhelming majority of websites present their own search facilities, yet there is no unified way (or any way at all) to focus quickly on those search boxes, as easily as focusing on the the address bar of your browser for example.
