Semantic Search for Ctrl+F
Hi HN! Ctrl+F sucks because I can never seem to find what I'm looking for. I built an NLP-based alternative that works pretty damn well. Let me know what you think. P.s. it will soon support image searches
Semantic Search for Ctrl+F launched on April 26, 2022 with 14 votes, #870 of 2,974 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.
In plain words
Semantic Search for Ctrl+F is a browser tool that replaces the standard find function with natural language processing to help users locate content more effectively. It's designed for anyone frustrated with traditional search limitations when looking for specific information on web pages. The tool uses NLP to understand meaning beyond exact keyword matching, and the maker plans to add image search capabilities in the future.

After 20 years of programming, I still find it hard to copy a command’s output; I always forget how to use `tar`; and I always have to relearn how to move my cursor.
