The most important feature of navigating Scratch is a good search engine. The official search engine is only able to search projects and studios. With the Scratch Search chrome extension, you can search those, as well as the forums, the wiki, and users! It automatically replaces the search boxes seamlessly. You can also click the icon to search Scratch, even when you're not on the website.
Here, take a look for yourself on the differences in features:
Official Scratch Engine:
pros:
-searches projects and studios
cons:
-manual search switch
-doesn't search forums, wiki, or user accounts
Scratch Search Engine:
pros:
-powered by Google
-searches projects, studios, forums, the wiki, and users (without manual switch)
-works seamlessly with Scratch
-search functionality anytime, anywhere (toolbar access)
cons:
-displays small ads
In the end, we hope this chrome extension can be used to the benefit of many Scratchers.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
