What is Search?

The Search feature helps you quickly find any Helperbird tool or setting. Instead of scrolling through all the features, you can type what you are looking for and see matching results instantly.


Who is This For?

This feature is helpful for:

  • Anyone who wants to find features quickly
  • People who are new to Helperbird and exploring tools
  • Users who cannot remember where a specific feature is located
  • Anyone who wants faster access to Helperbird tools
  • People who use many different features

Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar. It looks like a small owl and is usually in the top-right corner of your browser.

This will open the Helperbird menu.


In the top right corner of the Helperbird panel, look for the search icon. It looks like a magnifying glass.

Click the search icon or click the Open search button.

A search bar will appear where you can type.


Step 3: Search for Features

Type the name of the feature you are looking for. Helperbird will instantly filter the results to show only matching tools.

You can search by:

  • Feature names like "Reading Mode", "Voice Typing", or "Translate"
  • Categories like "Reading", "Writing", or "Dyslexia"
  • Keywords related to what you want to do

As you type, the results update in real time. Click on any feature in the results to open it immediately.

Tip: If you do not remember the exact feature name, try searching for what you want to accomplish. For example, search "read aloud", "highlight", or "fonts" to find related tools.

I am an assistive technology consultant for 30 school districts. I am adding Helperbird to the list of reading resources that I have available.

Let me tell you, I didn't know how badly I needed this until I got it. It was much like when I got glasses, I had just assumed that was how everyone saw the world...then it wasn't. Thank you Helperbird for the efforts you put forth in this lovely extension for everyone to use. The fact that you can use so much on the free just goes to show that this is something to help aid people not just some money grab. However with the pricing it still couldn't be a money grab. Thank you all again for the efforts you put forth so others can enjoy the internet more fully.

It used to be a little rough but the Helperbird support team gave me access to the beta and can't wait for it to be released. Giving it 5 stars mostly for support and the upcoming features.

Talking to the Helperbird support team during their live stream was a great experience. They gave me a preview of what's coming to Helperbird for Firefox, and I'm really excited about it. I'd give a 5/5 rating for the current features and the sneak peek.
