Keyword Search review
A focused Safari extension for users who want keyword-based searching on Apple devices.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Keyword Search adds keyword-based searching to Safari and is distributed through the Apple App Store. It is aimed at Apple-device users who want to search by terms while browsing, rather than add a broad suite of browser tools. The product is positioned for solo users and small teams, and its stated platforms are macOS and iOS. That makes it a narrow option for people who specifically want keyword-oriented Safari searches across desktop and mobile.
Its scope is the main reason to consider it: the stated feature set centers on keyword-based searching, delivered as a Safari browser extension through an App Store application. There is no stated content-blocking feature, so people looking for that capability should consider another extension. The available details also do not describe synchronization between devices, so users who need keyword settings or behavior to carry across macOS and iOS should check whether the current App Store listing addresses that need before choosing it.
Keyword Search is a paid product, but the published product details do not give a price or tier structure, so there is no basis here to compare paid options. Check Apple’s listing for current purchase terms and operating-system requirements. Choose it if keyword-based Safari searching is the specific job you need done and an App Store-distributed extension fits your setup. If you want a wider browsing toolkit, content blocking, or clearly defined cross-device behavior, its focused feature set may not be the right fit.
