StackOverflow Search


The word around town is that your code has a lot of bugs. You must use StackOverflow often. To make your life a little easier, build a Chrome extension that helps you search for things on StackOverflow. It should work like this

  1. User clicks in the Chrome address bar (AKA the omnibox).
  2. User types so and hits Tab to activate the extension.
  3. User types a search term like how to make an array in javascript.
  4. User hits Enter to display google search results restricted to stackoverflow.com.
