Searching

The command palette uses fuzzy search to help you find AWS features quickly.

Search Examples

s3
Shows all S3-related features (Buckets, Access Points)
lambda func
Shows Lambda Functions
iam role
Shows IAM Roles
ec2 inst
Shows EC2 Instances

Search Tips

  • Partial matches: Type part of a service name (e.g., lamb finds Lambda)
  • Multiple terms: Combine service + feature (e.g., s3 buck finds S3 Buckets)
  • Case insensitive: IAM and iam work the same

Local Storage

All data is stored locally using Chrome's storage API (chrome.storage.local).

What's Stored?

  • Features index: Pre-loaded list of AWS Console features
  • Resources (future): Your AWS resources discovered from browsing AWS Console

Privacy

  • ✓ No data sent to external servers
  • ✓ No AWS API calls
  • ✓ No tracking or analytics
  • ✓ All data stays on your machine

Clear Storage

To reset the extension and clear all stored data:

  1. Open Chrome DevTools (F12) on any page
  2. Go to the Console tab
  3. Run this command:
chrome.storage.local.clear(() => {
  console.log('Storage cleared - reload page to reseed');
});

Reload the page, and the extension will reseed the default features.
