To use, type '`' plus a search term into the Omnibox.Description

Searchio! is a custom search extension using which you can perform specific searches from the comfort of the Omnibar of chrome. Also the corresponding searches can be done from the context menu when anything is selected from a page (includes reverse image search using google).

Usage
1) From context menu: Select any word and then right click on it. Go to the Searchio! section of the context menu and then click on the type of search as required.
2) From Chrome Omnibox (Address Bar): Press '`'(backquote or acute) and a space in the Omnibar(searchbar) of Chrome to activate Searchio! (Note: '`' key is to the left of '1' in the keyboard)
Then type in the required keyword from the list given below followed by a space and then the required query to perform a search from that site/sites. Eg: "` `y coldplay" will perform a search for coldplay in youtube. Enjoy!
Note: To use Searchio! in incognito mode goto Chrome->Tools->Extensions and click Allow in Incognito radio button below Searchio!

Known Issue: If Searchio! is activated and enter key is pressed without any search term a Google search for '`' is done and after that Searchio! can be activated only by pressing '`' followed by tab (instead of a space) until chrome is restarted. This is actually an issue with chrome.

Also check out the other extensions i made:
1)Torrentio! which provides a one-click icon to download .torrent file from thepiratebay.se page of the torrent.

2)Youtube Age Hack! which provides a one-click icon on the Chrome address bar (when an age restricted Youtbe video page is loaded), which when clicked directly loads the Youtube video without signing in ;)
