Slash to search
Slash to search is a Chrome extension developed by UncleDara. This free add-on falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools.
The main purpose of Slash to search is to allow users to quickly jump to the search box on any website by simply pressing the forward slash key ("/") on their keyboard. This handy feature saves time and effort, especially when navigating through websites with extensive content.
In addition to the manual search box jump, the extension also offers an automatic jump option for select websites, such as popular e-commerce platforms like Aliexpress, Amazon, Jumia, Konga, and YouTube. This automatic jump can be particularly useful for users who frequently search for products or videos on these sites.
However, it's worth noting that there are certain types of websites where the extension may not work as expected. Type A sites, where the search box is hidden until you click on a search icon, and Type B sites, where there is no search icon, require additional setup steps. Users can easily configure the extension to work properly on these sites by right-clicking on the search icon or search box and selecting the appropriate option from the context menu.
Overall, Slash to search is a convenient Chrome extension that enhances the browsing experience by providing a quick and efficient way to jump to search boxes on various websites.
