Sherlock: A Chrome extension to Search Inconvenient Websites

Posted on December 16, 2011

…and it was really quite simple to do! Sherlock is pretty stupid: all you can do is click on him to specifically google the current tab’s website. So, if you find yourself adding “site:example.com” to your Google searches often, this should be a nice shortcut.

Here’s the MIT-licensed code: https://github.com/gnarmis/sherlock. Download the install package here; double-click to install. I’ve even put this puny release on the Chrome Web Store, but it’s not showing up yet.

EDIT: this link should work!

I’d love some comments/feedback! I’d rather not spend my precious winter break on a doomed hobbyist project…
