Abstract
An application programming interface (API) is provided in a user agent to allow an extension to supplement the user agent's search bar functionality with the extension's own search suggestion(s) and/or functionality. Accordingly, as the user types characters into the search bar, the extension can generate an item for display in a drop-down search menu based on keyword or regular expression (regex) matching. Such item may be a search suggestion which, upon activation, redirect the user agent to a network resource. The item may also simply display the result of a function or calculation carried out by the extension. Furthermore, the user may choose to enter a search mode, giving the extension exclusive control over the contents of the search menu.
