{% hint style="warning" %}
**Website Compatibility:** While the extension works on most websites, some sites may prevent it from adding links or finding citations. If links do not appear automatically, you can try clicking the vLex icon to manually trigger a scan.
{% endhint %}

### Best Practices & Pro Tips

* **Enhance Google Searches:** The extension automatically adds a box with relevant vLex results at the top of your standard Google search results for legal queries.
* **Quick Search Shortcut:** In your browser's address bar, type `v` then press `Space` or `Tab`. You can then type a search query to search vLex directly.
