Locus — Smart CTRL + F

I've never been able to log into this no matter what I try, and it is so utterly garbage if you don't have an account. Requiring an account for a simple extension is also ridiculous, but I digress. The page just infinitely loads when I attempt to make an account. It probably has to do with the enforced captcha that only has text loaded in. Fix your website.

lets you search THREE web pages per day. service is slow, and the idea of it is an invasion of privacy.

Locus has made *significant* improvements since the beginning of 2024 and I'm excited to see them build momentum. I was able to easily navigate a scanned 60+ page PDF to find the relevant sections pertaining to the 3-5 topic areas that I care about. This is such a breath of fresh air compared to locating a term in a table of contents, scrolling to it, reading it, then scrolling back to the table of contents, then scrolling back to another page where the key term(s) are formally defined.

lacks function to highlight just the synonyms, instead of the entire sentence

Locus is very useful for reading and searching long documents. Keyword search is hard to remember exact match with longer documents but with locus I can just use natural language which is much easier.

I like him a lot, he is too kind

All the page show: "Navigate to a valid page or refresh page", even if i am not on PDF! On wikipedia, it don't work too.

cant get it to work on anything it just says "Navigate to a valid page or refresh page". i followed all instructions

Great potential, but until they release the PDF support it is useless for me. Will stick around to see how this evolves!

Is there a reason why it keeps telling me to "Navigate to a valid page or refresh page." rather than allowing me to search?
