Fast Search

Context

Built as a keyboard-first productivity script for users who regularly bounce between search engines, social platforms, coding sites, and entertainment sources.

Problem

Opening the right site and composing the right search repeatedly costs time, especially when the user already knows the platform they want before reaching it.

Solution

Fast Search opens a React-powered launcher with a single key, lets the user search dozens of platforms through short aliases, supports auto-suggestions, and can jump directly to a platform home page when only the shortcut is entered.

Key decisions

• -Used a React interface so the script could feel like a small product instead of a bare prompt overlay.
• -Optimized for keyboard flow with Insert to open and ESC to close.
• -Made shortcuts the core interaction model so the tool stays fast after the user learns it.

Key features

• -Shortcut-based search across search, coding, social, gaming, and entertainment platforms
• -Direct homepage navigation when only the alias is entered
• -Auto-suggestions and keyboard navigation
• -Insert/ESC controls for quick open and close
• -Option to search in the current tab or a new window

Results

• -Converts fragmented browser navigation into a single launcher workflow.
• -Shows a stronger UI layer than most userscripts thanks to the React-based interface.
• -Makes the automation section feel broader than skip/ad scripts alone.
