Ctrl + F
"talk to your webpages" Watch on YouTube →
You know how Ctrl+F works—you type a word, it finds that word on the page. That's it. In Lucid, you get the same search box, but there's a chat button next to it. Click that button, and suddenly you're not just searching anymore.
Most of the time, you don't just want to find a word—you want to understand something.
Now you just ask the page directly. It reads everything and gives you an answer.
There's something interesting happening here. Traditional search assumes you know what you're looking for. But most of the time, you're trying to figure something out.
Old way: "Find needle in haystack" New way: "Hey haystack, where's the needle?"
It's the difference between interrogating a text and talking to it. One treats the webpage like a filing cabinet. The other treats it like a person who's read everything on the page and can explain it to you.
The chat function reads the entire page content (or video transcript for YouTube). When you ask a question, it finds the relevant parts and gives you an answer based on what's actually there. No external sources, no guessing—just the content you're already looking at, explained back to you.
Ctrl+F used to be about finding text. Now it's about understanding text. Instead of hunting for keywords, you have a conversation with the content itself. It's still just as fast, but now it actually helps you figure things out instead of just locating words.
