## What it is
A browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge that provides instant search of Rust documentation, crates, builtin attributes, books, and error codes from the address bar. It supports offline mode, daily-synced search indexes, and enhancements for docs.rs and GitHub release pages.

## Use cases
- search rust std docs from address bar
- find crates on crates.io quickly
- look up rust compiler error codes
- search rust docs offline
- search third-party crate documentation on docs.rs
- find clippy lints and rust book chapters

## When to choose
- you write Rust daily and want instant access to std and crate docs
- you need offline search of locally installed Rust docs
- you want docs.rs enhancements like feature flags and table of contents

## When to avoid
- you use Safari, which lacks the omnibox API this extension requires
- you need a general web search engine rather than Rust-specific lookup

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: search-engine, browser-extension, developer-tools, documentation
- domain: developer-tools, documentation, programming-languages
- platform: browser, browser-extension
- tags: rust, omnibox, crates-io, rust-docs, offline-search, address-bar-search, search
