The search box has always been a decisive factor to us. A powerful search box can multiple your efficiency by typing less. He3 allows you to search for the tools you want without having to finish typing the full name. It looks like below:

In order to make it more convenient and efficient for users to use, He3’s search box also has the following features.

Similar Keyword Match

We’ve added similar search keywords to each tool to make search results more accurate. For example, if a user searches for “JSON Prettify”, the JSON Format tool can be found too:

similar-match

Sometimes there may be some errors between the keywords searched by the user and the results. He3 can also automatically fix that and show the most relevant results. For example, yml and yaml, fmt and format:

fuzzy-search fuzzy-search

There will be more new features to preview and calculate results directly in the search box in the next version. Stay tuned!

Smart Detection

One of the key differentiators of He3 is that it will intelligently recognize the clipboard content locally. For example, when you copy a piece of JSON code to the clipboard, and then invoke He3, He3 will automatically recommend JSON-related tools (see the red box in the figure below):

Additionally, the search box will also prioritize JSON-related tools:

And when you open any tool, the content of the clipboard will be automatically pasted into the input box: smart-detection
