My thanks for writing this!

Trying to get this to work, since the new Plex search is just horrible. But installing this in Tampermonkey doesn't change anything. Looking at the eventlisteners in Chrome developer tools doesn't list this one.

The code looks fine to my untrained Javascript eye, but apparently something is breaking it. Any ides on where to start looking?

Did some troubleshooting. If I paste your code from line 15 to line 22 into the console, everything works fine. If I include line 14 and 23 (i.e. the window.addEventListener stuff), it doesn't work.

If I put the code into Tampermonkey, it doesn't work no matter if I include line 14 and 23 or not.

The Tampermonkey icon in Chrome says it is enabled and that your script is active on the Plex page.
