Av Singh (ID: 00000095507e9305) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/25/2023 This seems like a very early version of this project but worth trying. The extension works well but a bit slow to load the results which means by the time they have loaded you may have already clicked on other search results. They can also be inaccurate E.g. If you search "Air Pocket Symphony" - on DuckDuckGo - the wikipedia page comes up correctly but not within the extension so it still needs some work.

B (ID: 0000006a497e9938) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/24/2023 I definitely like the idea of this, and it has potential. But it's got a way to go. The search results haven't been particularly relevant to what I've searched for, and it's a bit on the slow side. I'll flip it back on in a few months to give it another go. It's a worthy project.

Tim Chambers (ID: 000000cc042502d8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/26/2022 Personally, I'd sum this up as a unique approach to showcasing search results worthy of 5 stars. Disclosure: I work for the Knowledge Standards Foundation.
