The barrier to entry for making a Chrome extension was far, far lower than I expected. For anyone interested, here are some great resources to get started:
- https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted
- http://lifehacker.com/5857721/how-to-build-a-chrome-extension
- https://www.lullabot.com/blog/article/creating-simple-chrome-extension
I used the third link as a starting point to make my own custom search.
