What's New
 
Smarter local store search — major improvement to search accuracy. 
 
The extension now understands what kind of store carries your product, even for brands and products we haven't seen before. Searches for running shoes, outdoor gear, ski equipment, sports nutrition, and hundreds of other categories now reliably find the right local independent stores instead of generic results. 
 
  • Searches for brand names like "Hoka," "Patagonia," "Darn Tough," and 170+ others now route directly to the right store type 
  • Product searches like "ski boots," "energy gel," "snowshoes," and "fishing lure" now find specialty stores correctly 
  • Typos and alternate spellings handled automatically 
  • Search quality improvements are instant — no extension update needed for future improvements
