Hasso Pape (ID: 000000b5997b958d) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/09/2019 This was an amazingly helpful extension several years ago. However, it doesn't look like it's been updated since GitHub started allowing users to search wiki's using the main GitHub search box. This extension no longer works.

Brian Dady (ID: 0000009acf075fba) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/03/2018 Found it simple and useful, but -- as others have pointed out -- it hasn't worked in months. One star since it's broken.
