Chrome的全文搜索插件:WorldBrain


WorldBrain 是一款 Chrome全文搜索开源插件,可以全文搜索(支持中文)用户浏览过的所有网页、PDF 内容,并且可以通过时间、关键词来进行过滤搜索。WorldBrain的远景目标是为全球的研究者,学生等提供有质量的开源搜索工具, 计划未来支持第三方应用的搜索,比如 Evernote、Google Drive、Dropbox。

WorldBrain虽然可以检索所有浏览过的网页全文以及浏览过的 PDF 文档, 但是需要登录的网页不会被记录(如邮件、Paypal 等),用户也可以设置过滤名单让 WorldBrain 跳过检索。如果想让之前的浏览记录也变得可以检索,需要事先导入浏览器数据。

Our first tool is the (Re)search-Engine, a photographic memory for your web research.

It's an open-source chrome extension to full-text search all the pages you visited and bookmarked, and later also all the apps you use to organise your knowledge (i.e. Evernote, Pocket, Google Drive, Asana, Mendeley) (Watch 2 min Intro Video) (DOWNLOAD HERE)

How to use the extension

For more detailed description, you can watch our Demo Video (2min) or read the text-based tutorial.

Important: All your data is stored and processed locally

Status & Development Roadmap

Here you find the long term roadmap.

Current Stage

Right now, the chrome extension lets you full-text search all the web pages and PDFs you visited and bookmarked.

Full Feature Set

  • full-text search history & bookmarks
  • filter by time and minuswords
  • blacklisting urls, domains, regex
  • supports PDFs you visited online
  • import existing history and bookmarks

Under Development

We are currently working on replacing the DB with PouchDB and the default search implementation with PouchDB Quick Search

View all "UNDER DEVELOPMENT" issues

Up next

Web-view for results and more filter options.

Currently the results can only be shown in the drop down of the adress bar and filters only applied by entering queries.

To change that, we are adding a web-based results and filter view (much like a google results page), where all results can be shown and a variety of filters applied.

Installation

AS A USER

Install from the Chrome store here. (If you don't feel comfortable with that, look at Transparent Installation).

Transparent Installation

If you don't feel comfortable installing a Chrome extension that can read and modify all data on the websites you visit from the webstore (we wouldn't either!), you can clone this repository on your local machine, read through our code to verify that it is not malicious, and then install it as an unpacked local extension through the menu in chrome://extensions/. But this way you also won't receive any updates.

Wanna know if the extension installed on your computer has the same code as here on GitHub? See here.

AS A DEVELOPER

Fork the project, then...
