Description

AI-powered CTRL + F for easy document search

Locus Smart Search completely reimagines CTRL + F (or ⌘+F on a Mac) search so you can quickly find information you need from webpages and PDFs using natural language. The extension also provides an easy way to organize your recent searches, tag favorites, and use AI to summarize the page and answers quickly.

Make searches that aren't possible with regular CTRL + F (or ⌘+F on a Mac). Locus understands your search intent and immediately identifies the relevant sections. Refer back to sections in long papers, PDFs, documents, and articles using natural language instead of remembering keywords.

Whether you're working with long papers, PDFs, documents, articles, news pieces, online textbooks, or blog posts, Locus works seamlessly on most static web pages that contain text.

Save time digesting content on the web and Hack your productivity.

We're constantly working to make the extension better. If you have suggestions or requests, we would love to hear from you in our Discord Community, there you can connect with our team and other Locus users and stay updated: https://discord.gg/kTAH3N9E8a.

I've never been able to log into this no matter what I try, and it is so utterly garbage if you don't have an account. Requiring an account for a simple extension is also ridiculous, but I digress. The page just infinitely loads when I attempt to make an account. It probably has to do with the enforced captcha that only has text loaded in. Fix your website.

lets you search THREE web pages per day. service is slow, and the idea of it is an invasion of privacy.

Locus has made *significant* improvements since the beginning of 2024 and I'm excited to see them build momentum. I was able to easily navigate a scanned 60+ page PDF to find the relevant sections pertaining to the 3-5 topic areas that I care about. This is such a breath of fresh air compared to locating a term in a table of contents, scrolling to it, reading it, then scrolling back to the table of contents, then scrolling back to another page where the key term(s) are formally defined.
