SlashSearch: Quickly Focus On The Search Box On Any Website [Chrome]

SlashSearch, a Chrome extension, adds a simple hotkey that allows you to automatically focus on the search box on any website. When you press the forward slash key (“/”) on a webpage, it focuses on the page’s search box, and in case the website doesn’t have a search feature, SlashSearch renders it own search box, so you can enter a query into the box and start searching the website using Google. Moreover, SlashSearch extends Chrome’s search feature by typing a backslash (“\”) into the omnibar, initiating a search on the domain you’re currently viewing. The extension lets you quickly locate the search bar on any website, saving up both time and effort.
Once you’ve installed the extension, simple hit “/” and the cursor will automatically be placed in the search bar on any website. SlashSearch also lets you type a backslash in the omnibar, so that you can start searching the current website using Google.
