Search the Current Site is a handy Chrome extension that allows you to perform a comprehensive Google-powered search across all pages of the website you're visiting. Unlike the traditional [Ctrl]+[F] search that only checks the current page, this tool enables site-wide searching with a single click of the toolbar button.

Customization is simple: right-click the 🔍 "Search this site" button and select "Options" to tailor the search behavior to your needs. For Firefox users seeking similar functionality, the "Site Searcher" add-on is recommended.

User reviews

Overall, users appreciate this extension as a handy, time-saving tool that streamlines site-specific searching by automating 'site:' queries. It fulfills an important niche lacking in browsers, with customization and ease of use praised especially by frequent users. However, there are recurring issues such as missing clear instructions, reliance on Google's index which can be incomplete, occasional functionality breakage with browser updates, and privacy concerns regarding permissions. Some users also wish for expanded features like support for additional search engines or more precise search scopes.

Pros

Simplifies site-specific searches by automating the 'site:' search operator.
Saves time and effort compared to manual input.
Handy and efficient for research and finding content within a website.
Offers extra settings and customization, appreciated by regular users.
Fulfills a common need not provided natively by browsers.

Cons

Lacks clear or transparent instructions, making it confusing for some users.
It searches only Google's index, which may be incomplete for some sites.
Suddenly stopped working on newer Chrome versions (e.g., Chrome 122).
Some users desire additional features like integration with other search engines (e.g., Baidu) or more refined search scopes (e.g., title-only search).
Concerns about needing access to browsing history without clear justification.
