PoE Wiki Search is a simple browser extension for Firefox, Chrome, and Chromium-based browsers that streamlines Path of Exile wiki lookups. By pressing ALT+W, players can instantly search the official PoE Community Wiki for game info.

Additionally, it enhances the browsing experience by redirecting any requests destined for the old pathofexile.fandom.com wiki to the official community-supported wiki. This bypasses the old Fandom wiki's intrusive ads, tracking, and fingerprinting, directing users to a friendlier, community-backed resource while preserving the exact page intended.

User reviews

Users appreciate the add-on for its straightforward, reliable wiki search functionality that enhances gameplay by providing quick access to relevant information. The main issue reported by multiple users is that in Firefox, the search field does not consistently auto-focus, especially when text is highlighted, resulting in a less seamless search experience compared to previous browsers like Edge. Despite this, the extension performs well and meets user expectations overall.

Pros

Extension works as advertised without unnecessary features.
Facilitates quick access to the PoE wiki frequently while playing the game.
Simple and effective without any complications.
Reliable search results returning familiar and preferred wiki sources.

Cons

Search field does not automatically gain focus in Firefox, requiring manual selection before typing.
Focus issue occurs particularly when text is highlighted or copied for searching.
Functionality inconsistency with about a 50/50 chance of the search field auto-focusing.

Great extension, used it for years since the old fandom still comes out on top in search results. However, I recently switched from Edge to Firefox and in Firefox the search field of this extension's UI is no longer automatically selected. Thus I have to press my hotkey then use my mouse to select the search field before typing. This was not a problem on Edge. I wonder if pm5k could fix this, or if it's caused by a particular Firefox setting I can change? Apart from that, the extension works exactly how I want.
