What is a Google Chrome extension?

Google Chrome extensions are programs that can be installed into Chrome, Google's web browser, to enhance the browser's functionality. In this case, the Destiny Discover extension automatically links all of your Google searches to the MHHS online book catalog, Destiny. Extensions are always available to be downloaded from the Google Web Store. Google extensions are tied to your computer, not your Google account, so with each new device you log in to, you would need to download the extension.

Step 1b: Manage extensions

To see what extensions you have added to Chrome, click on the puzzle piece icon located to the right of the browser search bar.

Click the pin icon next to the Destiny Discover extension to display a short-cut to the extension on your browser bar. When you click on the Destiny Discover extension's icon, a search bar will appear that allows you to search our school's library resources instantly.

Step 2: first time setup

After adding the extension, search for something on Google. This will prompt the Destiny Discover extension to show up as a black bar above the search results with the following message: "First Time Setup: Go to your school's Destiny Discover home page by selecting it from DestinyDiscover.com and your extension will auto-configure itself."
