Adds a custom sidebar and horizontal toolbar to Google Search: provides quick access to filters, favorite sites, and advanced tools — switchable layout modes, fully customizable, draggable, and multilingual.
Switch anytime under "Settings ⚙️ -> General -> Interface Layout Mode":
Sidebar Mode: Fully expands filter sections and tools for the fastest one-click filtering experience.
Horizontal Toolbar Mode: Seamlessly integrates into Google Search top bar with popover dropdowns for zero vertical clutter.
Apply search filters with a single click (💡 Middle-click any option to open results in a background new tab):
OR groups, favicons, and exclude mode.Save your active search combinations (language, time, country, site, filetype, keywords) as shortcut filters. Automatically named by system (e.g. "Reddit / PDF / Past Year"); manage or delete anytime directly from the sidebar.
One-click toggles for Verbatim, De-personalization, or jump directly to Google Advanced Search, Scholar, Trends, and Dataset Search. Buttons can be positioned in header, top block, tools section, or hidden.
Floating overlay near the search box shows active filter chips (click to remove instantly). Result Stats dynamically displays total result count and query time.
Themes & Colors — Light, Dark, Minimal Light, Minimal Dark, and System Auto, with 15 customizable color tokens (background, text, links, buttons, etc.).
Dimensions & Spacing — Fine-tune sidebar width (90–270px), height (25–100vh), font size (8–24pt), header icon size, vertical spacing, and hover opacity.
Section Ordering & Expansion — 9 sections can be hidden or dragged to reorder (My Filters, Time, Language, Country, Site Search, File Type, Date Range, Keyword Location, Tools), supporting remember state, expand all, collapse all, or accordion mode.
Custom Option Manager — Freely add and manage your own custom websites, language codes, country codes, time ranges, and filetypes.
1. Option labels show [ERR_NF] error?
If updating caused a data schema conflict, go to ⚙️ Settings -> Custom -> Manage Options, delete the error items, and click "Add Built-in Option" to reset data structure.
2. Google Search Operators (inurl:, intitle:, intext:) Outage
Recent Google Search algorithm changes (since May 2026) cause advanced search operators to fail in certain scenarios; this is an upstream issue with Google Search itself. (Related community discussions: Reddit r/SEO Thread 1 · Reddit r/searchengines Thread 2)
