Recent Searches Extension

Introduction:
How many times have you searched for someone on one search engine, were dissatisfied and wanted to search for the same thing in another search engine?

Simply right click on any search box and click \"Recent Searches\" and it will pull recent searches that you performed within the last 2 days and allow you to paste it with just one click.

This extension is also completely keyboard accessible for the keyboard savvy. Just press Up/Down/Enter/Escape to control which text gets inserted!

Data Source:
This extension does not track what you type into search fields because that method would degrade your browser's performance. Your past searches is only pulled from the URLs in your browser's history (from the last 2 days only) on demand. This method is significantly lighter on resources. However, if you clear your browser history, your past searches will be inaccessible.

Permissions:
This extension requires \"history\" permissions because it will pull your recent searches from your browser history. Nothing is shared with anyone and nothing leaves your computer.
