The SearchFunctions browser extension on Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/searchfunctions/mijdkdpmeeimcoappnkhahponnallcbk is a product by Searchfunctions.com. The SearchFunctions browser extension is aimed at English-speaking users who might be tired from Google, Bing and Yahoo. The SearchFunctions extension is designed to promote the search engine on h[tt]ps://searchfunctions[.]com. Loading the Searchfunctions.com search aggregator does not require Web surfers to have the SearchFunctions Chrome Extension running in their browser. You may notice that the h[tt]ps://searchfunctions[.]com site sports a minimalistic design and you are provided with text-based results only. Contrary to what the leading search engines are doing, SearchFunctions aims to keep a low profile and show small paragraphs with information.

The layout of Searchfunctions.com may remind of the early days of Yahoo, but SearchFunctions does not seem as powerful as its competitors. The limited search scope of Searchfunctions.com may not be appreciated by many users. Installing the SearchFunctions browser extension causes redirects to h[tt]ps://searchfunctions[.]com when you open a new tab, and there is no way to contact the extension developers other than writing to info@searchfunctions.com. You should note that h[tt]ps://searchfunctions[.]com may seem like a secure domain but the digital signature is attributed to the Amazon's CloudFront content delivery system and your connection to h[tt]ps://searchfunctions[.]com may not be protected. The SearchFunctions Chrome Extension is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that reroutes users to Searchfunctions.com and might limit their search capabilities.
