The Quick Search browser extension from Chofter.com makes it much faster to find what it is you are looking for.

Quick Search integrates your browser with Google.com, so that results appear as you type. You no longer have to open a new tab to display results, no more typing in the address of a search engine, then typing your search text, THEN navigating to another page.

Just get your results NOW.

Q. What does it do exactly?
Quick Search inserts a search box at the top right of your page, and moves the cursor into it. As you type, results are pulled from Google and displayed instantly for you.

Q. Why is it better than what I use now?
It is simply much quicker to find what you want. Fewer clicks (no clicks!), instant response, no search portals involved at all. Try it, you'll be surprised at how quick and easy it makes things.

Q. OK, so how do I use it?
Once it's installed (see below for the simple instructions), you simply press Ctrl + Alt + F to search the whole web, or press Ctrl + Alt + S to just search the website that you are currently looking at. Then you just start typing.

Q. Right, that all sounds great, but how do I know that I really, really need this?
If you're a normal web user, Quick Search can really speed up your web browsing. However if you're the type of person who prefers using the keyboard over the mouse, or if you are a user with a vision impairment, the you need Quick Search. Quick Search is a very quick way to find things on the web using only the keyboard. All links are fully accessible and suitable for screen readers.
