Find what you need quickly and easily by making sites stand out, blend in, or disappear!\n\n## Frequently Asked Questions\n\n\u003e ### What does Search Tailor do?\n\nSearch Tailor allows you to alter the appearance of text search results based on the websites they link to. For example, you can add a background or border colour to results from your favourite websites; lower the opacity of results from websites you want to see less of; or hide results entirely from sites you don't care for.\n\n\u003e ### How does Search Tailor work?\n\nSearch Tailor provides a popup interface where you can associate specific websites with options like a background colour, border colour, or opacity value. Each one of these settings is called a \"treatment\", and controls the way search results that link to that website should look when the extension sees them appear in a text search.\n\nWhen you perform a text search, Search Tailor will compare the website URL of each search result against your list of treatments. If it finds a match, it will alter the associated search result based on your settings. That's it!\n\n\u003e ### Where does Search Tailor work?\n\nSearch Tailor is currently compatible with the latest versions of [Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browsers/) and [Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/), and can alter text search results that appear on the following domains:\n\n-   `google.com/search`\n-   `duckduckgo.com`\n-   `bing.com/search`\n-   `search.yahoo.com/search`\n\nThis list has been kept fairly conservative in an effort to limit the permissions requested of each user, as each domain constitutes a seperate permission. If you'd like Search Tailor to work for a different search provider, please [check out the project's issues](https://github.com/nbrombal/search-tailor/releases) to see if we're working on it or to submit a request!\n\n\u003e ### Why did you create Search Tailor?\n\nI'm web developer by trade, and I spend a lot of time searching for answers to technical questions. Over time, I've noticed a pattern in the websites I prefer to get results from based on the kind of question I'm asking. I made Search Tailor so I could colour-code my search results to match specific websites common to my searches, allowing me to quickly scan for the right type of resource for the problem I'm solving.\n\n\u003e ### Does Search Tailor store my search history or the websites I visit?\n\nNo, Search Tailor doesn't store or transmit any information about your internet activity. The only thing stored by the extension is your configuration, which is not shared with anyone.\n\n\u003e ### When will Search Tailor be available in the Firefox Add-on directory and Chrome Web Store?\n\nAs soon as possible! Search Tailor is a side project, so updates to it are dependent on how much free time I happen to have. In the meantime, feel free to install a pre-release version and star this repo to get update notifications.\n\n## Pre-release Installation\n\nSearch Tailor is still under development, but don't let that stop you from taking it for a spin: You can always find the latest available version over on the [Releases page](https://github.com/nbrombal/search-tailor/releases), complete with change notes and the necessary installation files for both Firefox and Chrome.
