User Reviews

I think this extension can be a game changer for Obsidian for me at least, one of the issues of taking notes is remembering that you took them and surfacing them at the right time when you need them, searching for something on the internet and Obsidian simultaneously is exhausting, this kills two birds with one stone and allows you to not only go back to your old notes but also update them with new info you get from the internet search, which makes your Obsidian notes even more useful. I just wish like Memex, the search window could be displayed to the right side of the search results in search engines like Google, DuckDuckGo etc., instead of having to manually click the plugin toolbar button

It does work by showing list of notes/files relevant to the search query or address bar things. Unfortunately, it failed to open any of them after clicking on any of them on the list.

Is Omnisearch Companion Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Omnisearch Companion requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
