Summary

This extension lets you jump to the search box on websites by pressing the forward slash '/' key.

It also lets you choose to jump to the search box automatically when a website loads; an option ideal for YouTube and Jumia.

By default, it's configured to automatically jump to search on some popular e-commerce sites (Aliexpress, Amazon, Jumia, Konga) and YouTube.

There are some sites on which this extension won't work by default: type A sites, where the search box is hidden until you click on a search icon. And type B sites where there's no search icon, but the extension doesn't jump to the search box as expected.

To set up this extension to work properly for type A sites, right click on the search icon that reveals the search box and select "add this search trigger" from the menu. After this, the extension will function properly on the site.

To set up for type B sites, right click on the search box and select "add this search box". After that, the extension will function properly.
