## Description

Falcon is a Firefox extension that enhances your browsing experience by enabling flexible full-text search of your browsing history. Each time you visit a website, Falcon indexes all the text on the page, making it easy to locate previously visited sites based on their content. To activate the search, simply press 'f' followed by space in the address bar and type your query.

Developed by @andrewilyas, @lengstrom, and @cennoxx, with artwork by Lucia Liu, Falcon offers a powerful and intuitive way to navigate your browsing history by content keywords rather than just URLs or page titles. This makes re-finding information faster and more efficient, particularly for users who frequently revisit many pages.
