For local-only functionality: Worked for me. In firefox, even!

I downloaded the html file and then ran it from my desktop. Functionality didn't seem to be changed by it.

You just type whatever, then the list underneath will filter out anything that doesn't have the search terms either in the title or text. You don't need to ENTER. You shouldn't ENTER.

Search & replace is very important. I'll implement that in the future.

It can be used on desktop as long as you have an internet connection. If you look at the source code you'll see it sources some CDN files. I'm planning on taking it totally offline.

I thought about it & decided against it. It'd be buggy, complicated, & undoable. People should just manually search & replace things. There's even a first level search to help people get started.
