Scratch Search Extension

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.

Marcus Medow (ID: 000000c9260f5ebd) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/23/2021 when i use search, it brings me to random things on the web, using the extension, we cant choose whether we want studios or projects, i would say that the normal scratch search is MUCH better.

Ameet Rao (ID: 000000aba38c1334) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/17/2020 It covered the top bar, and the search was not that effective, as it always shows up as something out of the ordinary and random, when I want a clear response, and some lead to random articles too.
