Catalog Pantry Explorer
Catalog Pantry Explorer lets you search and view a manufacturer Catalog selected by you on your device, then manage the related official product pages, clips, notes, and history.
One purpose
Search and view a manufacturer Catalog explicitly selected by the user on the user's device, and manage official product pages, clips, and history related to that Catalog. Automatic product selection, guarantees about product specifications, and arbitrary website collection are outside this purpose.
02 / FIND
Navigate only to reviewed locations
A bounded reviewed index can show a model's page or confirmed location. A mismatched PDF or unknown location is never guessed.
03 / HANDOFF
Open official pages explicitly
Provider and Catalog records remain separate. Official search, product pages, and Catalog downloads open only after a user action.
What the current extension does
Its viewer and settings cover Catalog selection, local PDF assignment, bounded index search, official-page clips and notes, and recently opened history. You can also register personal Provider and Catalog metadata alongside the recommended Catalog.

It does not include advertising, extension analytics, background crawling, arbitrary website scraping, account sync, semantic search, or billing.
