Abstract
Systems and methods for expanding the functionality of a browser URL input box are provided. A first input is received from a navigation field at a browser. An input type of the first input is determined. A plurality of repositories are searched for one or more browser extensions based on the input type. A set of browser extension results are displayed within the navigation field based on a confidence score associated with each repository of the plurality of repositories. The confidence score indicates a probability of a user's intent to use a browser extension included in the browser extension results.
