Extension Metadata

About this extension
Lookahead uses a simple and minimal algorithm to navigate to your result. Use the "la" prefix to go straight there. Don't want to use the prefix? Sure, just disable the keyword in setting. Did it give you the wrong result?

No problem, use Shift+Alt-L and Shift+Alt-O(think of up and down on your keyboard) to cycle through the results. Even better, just do Shift+Alt+P to pick from the best results in a mini floating popup window, then press any number 1-9 to jump straight to your site!
