About Fynder - Smart Ctrl+F

Find what you mean, not just what you typed. Fynder is a smarter Ctrl+F powered by on-device AI. It finds the passages you're looking for by meaning & context, even when you can't remember the exact words. It searches web pages, PDFs, text inside images, and even all your open tabs at once. WHAT IS IT? Fynder helps you find the most relevant parts of what you're reading, not just keyword matches. WHY? Sometimes you remember an idea you've read, but not the exact words and Ctrl+F can't help with that. With Fynder, you search for the concept or question you have in mind and it takes you to the passages that answer it. Spend less time scanning & more time learning, working & getting things done. HOW? Fynder combines exact word matching with small AI language models that understand meaning & context, then ranks the strongest matches first. It works on long research papers, Wikipedia articles, PDFs, news, blogs, documentation & more. The AI models are built into the extension and run on your own device, so search is fast and private. HOW TO USE? 1. Click the Fynder button in your toolbar (pin it for one-click access). 2. Type a word, phrase, question or idea and press Enter. 3. Press Enter or ↓ for the next result, ↑ for the previous one, Esc to close. WHAT'S NEW - 🖼️ Image search: find words printed inside pictures, posters, charts & screenshots - 📄 Better PDF search: text PDFs are searchable almost instantly, and scanned pages are read automatically - 🎨 A fresh, minimal design with two highlighter inks - 🌙 Looks right on dark websites too - ⚡ Faster & lighter on long or constantly updating pages - 🔘 The toolbar icon fades on pages Fynder can't search, so you always know where it works KEY FEATURES - 💡 Finds related ideas & concepts, not only exact words - 🖍️ Two highlighter inks: peach for exact matches, blue for related passages - ⏺ A small dot next to the result count shows what was found: peach (exact), blue (related) or both. Hover it for an exact vs related breakdown - 📑 Search across all your open tabs at once & jump straight to the best result in any tab - 🖼️ Search text inside images with one tap on the image button - 📄 Search PDFs, including scanned ones - 🗺️ A map of all results beside the scrollbar, so you can see where matches are on the page - ⚡ Fast, fully local search, with no waiting on a server - 🛡️ Private by design: no account, no tracking, and your pages & searches never leave your device - ✔️ Fynder only reads a page when you open it - ✨ A compact, modern search bar built right into the page NOTES - Multi-tab search asks for permission to read your open tabs the first time you use it. Sleeping tabs are skipped so they aren't woken up. - Image search is off by default. Switch it on with the image button. Pictures are read in the background after the page text is ready. - Very long pages might take a moment to read the first time. A soft glint runs along the bottom of the search bar while Fynder reads. - Chrome's own pages (like Settings or the New Tab page) and the Chrome Web Store can't be searched by any extension. Fynder's icon fades there.
