Exact Search
A browser extension that toggles exact/verbatim search in search engines.
Major search engines, such as Google, are smart in guessing what you are searching for. They do so with many tricks, including using word stems and synonyms, skipping part of the search, etc. This browser extension allows you to toggle between:
- allowing the search engine to guess, and
- requiring the search engine to search for the exact terms you give.
To use Exact Search, search in your favorite search engine as usual, then click on the extension or press Alt+Shift+X to toggle exact search! You can also customize the extension shortcut in Chrome and Firefox.
