===============================
Important disclaimer : Because I work for IBM and because I made this extension during by job time, this extension belongs to IBM. BUT, this extension is NOT supported by IBM. Every bug report must be sent to myself only (do not open a PMR), and -even if I'm pretty quick to answer- without any legal obligation or whatsoever to correct them.
This extension is provided AS IS.
===============================

The QuickSearch plugin let you quickly search for users or content within IBM Connections, upload and/or share a File to multiple users, invite a group of users into a community, share an URL to your board or someone's board, see your activity stream updates in real time, and update your profile picture using your webcam or an existing picture.

Use the popup window in the upper right corner of chrome in order to search within Profiles (with type-ahead feature), Files, Forums and so on.

You can also use it directly from the URL navigation bar, by typing "sc" (without any quotes) following by a space then your query. Then press enter for a global search or arrow keys to reduce the scope.
