## Overview
SearchSwap is a browser extension that makes it really quick and easy to hop around different search engines and sites. E.g., imagine you're searching for something on Google but want to do the same search on Bing or Amazon. All you have to do is click on the SearchSwap extension icon on the browser's toolbar and then click on Bing, Amazon, or any of the other supported sites.

If you installed it but don't see SearchSwap on your toolbar, try clicking on the puzzle piece icon (the one immediately to the right in the screenshot above) as it's likely just not yet visible on your toolbar.

Here's what the main window looks like. Simply click on the site you want to switch to and SearchSwap will open up a new tab and repeat the same search on the site you clicked.

I also added an Options page that allows users to add, delete, and modify (admittedly, a bit clunky now but will improve later) their list of sites.
