Search in PeeringDB Extension

Very lightweight and simple extension to search for AS numbers, Networks, Facilities, and general queries in PeeringDB using the icon on the extension bar, the context menu, and your address bar in Chrome.

You'll always be a couple of clicks away from searching the largest interconnection database of the industry.

Instructions:

[New] Using Address Bar (Omnibox)
Write pdb followed by a space, input your search query and hit enter.

Using Icon on Extension Bar
Just click on the icon and input your search query on the box.

Using Context Menu
Highlight text on a page, right click, and select \"Search in PeeringDB\".

If the query or highlighted text is a number, the extension will look for an ASN in PeeringDB. Otherwise, it will perform a standard search on the website. For both methods, search will open in a separate tab.

I hope you use it as much as I do!
