Research direction

Start with CONTRIBUTING.md and review the linked FastPick project to understand the proposed integration and its effect on Vimium's search-page look and feel. The issue does not identify an entry point or define a concrete done state; first establish whether a plugin system is wanted and what its scope would be.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I thought about integrating FastPick (webstore link) since it fits more into the spirit of Vimium rather than being a standalone extension (and the fact it didn't really pick up), but then I read CONTRIBUTING.md and it does change the 'regular` look and feel of search pages in chrome, and therefore isn't so suitable (right?, tell me if I'm wrong :)

Maybe FastPick can be integrated as plugin, so is there a system for this planned or anything like it?
(A search through the issues yielded 2 issues really unrelated to what I am thinking, so that's why I submitted this issue)
