## What it is
A browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari that replaces GitHub's search bar with Algolia-powered instant search and autocomplete. It suggests top repositories, active users, and (optionally) the user's private repositories and issues.

## Use cases
- autocomplete GitHub repository search as I type
- find GitHub users instantly from the search bar
- search my private GitHub repositories with typo tolerance
- search my GitHub issues with instant suggestions
- search GitHub repos from the browser address bar

## When to choose
- you want faster, more relevant search on github.com
- you use Algolia and want an example of instant-search UX
- you frequently search GitHub repositories and users

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained extension (last release 2019)
- you don't want a third-party service indexing your GitHub activity
- you use a browser other than Chrome, Firefox, or Safari
