StackOverflow Search

The word around town is that your code has a lot of :material-bug: bugs. You must use [:simple-stackoverflow: StackOverflow][so] often. To make your life a little easier, build a Chrome extension that helps you search for things on StackOverflow. It should work like this

1. User clicks in the Chrome address bar (AKA the [omnibox][omnibox]).
2. User types so and hits ++tab++ to activate the extension.
3. User types a search term like how to make an array in javascript.
4. User hits ++enter++ to display google search results restricted to [stackoverflow.com][so].

Demo¶

Setup¶

Create a directory named stackoverflow-search as the project root. Give it a single file, manifest.json.

stackoverflow-search/
  manifest.json

{
    "manifest_version": 3,
    "name": "StackOverflow Search",
    "description": "Reach StackOverflow more easily, so you can fix those stupid bugs sooner.",
    "version": "1.0"
}
