Search Bar

Search Bar

A slightly better option than the Google Chrome’s default Find Bar.

Summary

Pretty much the same as the Google Chrome’s default Find Bar with a few compromises (due to platform limitations) but with a single improvement…

IT SEARCHES THE SELECTED TEXT ON THE PAGE WHEN YOU OPEN IT!!!

That’s all more or less.

Shortcut: Alt + S
