About Leita: find on page by meaning

You know it's on the page. You just can't remember the words. Leita is the find bar you already use, with one difference: it understands what you mean. Type a word that is on the page and every occurrence lights up, exactly like Chrome's own find. Type a question, an idea, or the way you'd say it to a colleague, and the passages that answer it light up instead, each with a small confidence badge. Same key, same feel. It just keeps working when you can't guess the exact wording. What you can type • "refund" – every occurrence, in order, like always. • "can I get my money back" – the refund policy, even if the page never uses the word. • "why not just use a recurrent network" – the paragraph in the paper that argues it. • "the part about the deadline" – the one sentence that carries the date. How it behaves • Only strong matches are shown: at most three, best first, each with a confidence badge. • When one sentence clearly carries the answer, just that sentence is highlighted and its paragraph gets a soft tint. When the whole paragraph is relevant, all of it is. • Enter and Shift+Enter move between matches, Esc closes. The page itself is never altered, only highlighted. • It remembers your last question on a page, so reopening the bar is instant. Where it works • Every website, including the ones that run their own find: Google Docs, Notion, web editors. • PDFs in Chrome's own viewer. Papers, contracts, manuals: the text is read on your device, the best passages are listed by page, and the viewer moves to the top one without reloading the file. • Google Docs: the whole document is searched, including view-only docs, and Docs itself marks the passage. • Files opened from your disk, once you allow file access on the extension's details page. One key Ctrl+Shift+F (⌘⇧F on Mac) opens Leita anywhere. Flip one switch and plain Ctrl+F (⌘F) opens it on every website instead of Chrome's find bar; press the key again while the bar is open and Chrome's own find takes over, so nothing is lost. For Ctrl+F inside PDFs, Chrome asks you to set the key yourself, once, on its shortcut page; the extension's settings page walks you through it. Private by design • Nothing on a page is read until you open the bar on that page. Exact matches and PDF reading happen entirely on your device. • A meaning search sends your question and the visible text of that page over HTTPS to the Leita service, which returns relevance scores. Our server doesn't save it; the extension has no accounts, no history, no identifiers and no analytics. Exact words never leave your device. • Stored on your device: your Ctrl+F choice, an optional custom service address, and recently searched PDFs' text in session storage until the browser closes. Free, no sign-up. Powered by TypeSafe Jev, a fast language model built for yes/no judgements, which is what makes a meaning search feel as quick as regular find. Leita (LAY-ta) is Old Norse for “to search”.
