What is Google Custom Search Enhancer?
Google Custom Search Enhancer is an open-source Chrome browser extension that enhances your Google search experience. This extension allows you to set the number of search results displayed per page (up to 100) and specify which Google domains the extension should work on.
Why You Need This Extension
Google searches typically show only 10 results per page by default. This creates a need to constantly navigate between pages, especially when doing detailed research, resulting in wasted time. With Google Custom Search Enhancer, you can:
- View up to 100 results on a single page
- Reduce the need to navigate between pages
- Complete your research faster and more efficiently
- Activate this feature for specific Google domains of your choice (google.com, google.com.tr, etc.)
Key Features
