GitHub Search Tool is a Chrome extension developed by Paweł Urbanek. This free extension falls under the category of Browsers, specifically Add-ons & Tools. The GitHub Search Tool provides users with instant access to the GitHub search bar, making it easier to search for repositories and code snippets.

With this extension installed, users can simply click on the icon or use the shortcut CTRL(CMD)+SHIFT+F to bring up the GitHub search bar. From there, they can type in their search phrase and press ENTER to see the results displayed in the current tab.

One notable feature of the GitHub Search Tool is that it does not overwrite any existing default shortcuts. If users already have a binding for the default shortcut, the extension will not interfere with it. Users also have the freedom to set their own shortcuts in the Chrome settings.
