pickySearch is a Chrome extension that aims to make advanced search operators and features more accessible to users by allowing them to save queries and share search URLs. It seeks to address issues where users may not know about operators like "cache:", "inanchor:", and "AROUND()" by presenting search options in a more user-friendly interface than alternatives like Google Advanced Search.
