This extension will allow you to resurface these saved notes as you revisit the page later or type a search for it in your search engine.

🚀 Features
- ✅ INSTANT LIVE SEARCH: Look up your notes while you are typing your query into the the google search bar of e.g. google
- ✅ NOTE RECALL: Search your vault for mentions of the current URL while browsing and shows you related notes
- ✅ NOTE PREVIEW & EDITING: Open and edit your notes without leaving the browser
- ✅ PAGE NOTE MESSAGES: Receive customizable notifications when visiting or hovering notes with dedicated pages (compatible with the Obsidian Web Extension)
- ✅ Choose your favorite Obsidian Plugin as your search provider: Local REST API or Omnisearch
