Gear is a fast, keyboard-first Spotlight search and command palette for Google Chrome (Manifest V3). Built with React 19, TypeScript, and Vite via CRXJS, Gear brings an OS-level launcher experience (like macOS Spotlight or Raycast) into any webpage.

⭐ Bookmarks Search: Instantly find and open saved bookmarks.
🕒 Browsing History: Search through previously visited pages, ranked by recency.
🔍 Google Search Suggestions: Live, debounced query auto-suggestions powered by Google Complete.
💥 Search Bangs: DuckDuckGo-style shortcuts (e.g., !yt, !g, !wi) with custom bang support.
🌐 Smart URL & Localhost Detection: Intelligently identifies domains, localhost, and IP addresses for direct navigation without performing a web search.
