Dork Search

Inspiration

Most people never use Google’s advanced search operators. I wanted a way to bring the power of “Google dorking” to everyone—without requiring any extra steps or technical knowledge.

What it does Dork Search is a Chrome extension that intercepts your Google queries, rewrites them using Gemini AI into more precise, operator-based searches, and instantly resubmits them. The entire process happens when you hit Enter.

How I built it I built a Manifest V3 Chrome extension with a lightweight content script and service worker. The service worker sends queries to the Gemini API, processes the AI-generated rewrite, and updates the search page in real time.

Challenges I ran into It was a challenge to bring Gemini into chrome extensions.

Accomplishments that I am proud of Built a working end-to-end extension with real-time AI query rewriting

What I learned Clear prompts and correct model selection are key for reliable AI responses Chrome extension messaging between content and background scripts must be clean and minimal for stability
