Sanskrit Sandhi Search

About

A sandhi-tolerant “find on page” for Sanskrit / Devanāgarī.

Type a phrase in its citation (pausā) form — in ITRANS or in Devanāgarī — and the extension highlights where it actually occurs in the running text, including the sandhi-fused forms that the browser’s own Ctrl-F and most site searches miss.

Examples: • buddheḥ jāyamānāḥ → finds बुद्धेर्जायमानाः • samyak jñānam → finds सम्यग्ज्ञान • tataH ca → finds ततश्च

Highlights: • Sandhi-aware, high-recall matching (visarga, vowel sandhi, mātrā fusion, and more). • Type in ITRANS (e.g. buddheH jAyamAnAH) or paste Devanāgarī directly. • Orthography- and space-tolerant: canonicalizes both your query and the page text so equivalent spellings match. • In-place highlighting with next/previous navigation and a match counter. • Three modes: sandhi (default, high recall) · loose (space-insensitive) · exact.

Privacy: 100% local. No network calls, no accounts, no tracking, no data leaves your browser.

How to use: • Click the toolbar icon, or press Ctrl+Shift+S (⌘+Shift+S on Mac), to toggle the bar. • Enter = next match, Shift+Enter = previous, Esc = close. • Rebind the shortcut at chrome://extensions/shortcuts if it conflicts.

Note (v1): matches are found within a single block element and on the current page.
