SearchSK is an extension which allows you to search like a pro - become a master of web search with SearchSK. It's easy, extremely convenient and highly configurable. Give it a try! Let me know if you want other functions added.

Note: During initialization the extension will create a 'SearchSK' bookmark folder under 'Other Bookmarks' and populate it with search and translation URLs. Please modify this folder according to your needs, there are plenty of pre-configured URLs on the support site.

Functions:

A lot of pre-configured bookmarks are available on the support site. It is extremely power tool and you can fully adopt it to your own needs - use it for everything from image search to currency convertor.
