HF Search Booster

About

HF Search Booster makes Hugging Face's model search far more useful.

FEATURES
- Smart query matching: hides cards that don't actually match your query (e.g. searching "gemma 4 uncensored" filters out unrelated results).
- Variant file sizes: fetches the real file sizes for each model variant (GGUF, SafeTensors, etc.) and shows a min–max range badge on every card.
- Hover details: hover a card to see every model file with its exact size.
- Size-based filter: dual-range slider + precise number inputs so you can narrow results to models that fit your GPU / disk.
- Auto-scan on scroll: sizes populate automatically as you scroll — no manual clicks needed.
- Persistent cache: once a model's files are scanned, the result is cached locally for 7 days so refreshes are instant.
- Toggle everything: popup settings to disable smart matching or variant sizes without removing the extension.

PRIVACY
- No tracking, no analytics, no data sent to any third party.
- Only network requests: Hugging Face's own public API (`/api/models/{id}/tree/main`), triggered by you browsing or hovering cards.
- Settings and cache are stored locally in your browser (chrome.storage).

HOW TO USE
1. Install, then visit https://huggingface.co/models.
2. Search as usual — the "Variant Sizes" panel appears in the sidebar.
3. Scroll to auto-scan; hover any card for full file details; use the range slider to filter by size.
