Extension summary

==Observation

When I ask users of AWS to navigate to a specific AWS service, the user typically takes a few seconds sinking in on the overwhelming number of services in the console page, subsequently entering the service name via Ctrl-F to find where to click.

==Problem

Too many service. Too difficult to find where the link is. Why is there no simple seach bar?

==Solution

Naturally, based on the observation, let's build a AWS Launcher that has search capability to help easily launch specific AWS services console.

==Features

Instant Search to launching AWS services - no more scanning the console home page to see where to click

Thanks for this. Really useful and much potential. Just need to be able to set default AZ (only reason why the 4star) and possibly set default keyboard shortcut. Other customization options are for listed AZ, icons, colors, font etc. would also be welcome.
