A browser-based tool is disclosed for providing context-based assistance during web browsing. An example method involves receiving a contextual search request pertaining to main content displayed in a browser's display area, extracting content from the main content, receiving a contextual suggestion based on the extracted content, and displaying the contextual suggestion in a designated contextual search area within the browser. This innovative approach streamlines the search process by providing users with relevant suggestions based on the content they are currently viewing, thereby improving efficiency in navigating online information.
