This is I think about 60% of the value I get out of Pinboard; most of what it does for me is clear tabs.

But I pay for an archive account and it does full-text search, so the other huge benefit is that when what my tabs are full of is PDF ePrint papers, I can search later for things and get results for research questions faster than I can from Google.

Agreed. I'd love to have an extension that searches my Pinboard prior to going to a search engine.
Text is small. I’d love a browser extension that archives and indexes every single price of text I come across on the internet; and lets me search them.
Falcon sound like what you're looking for: https://github.com/lengstrom/falcon
Neat, is there something like this for FF as well?
Not that I know of sadly. There's an open issue, but no progress as far as I could see. I haven't tried, but technically Firefox should support the WebExtensions APIs that Chrome uses, so it might be worth trying to manually load in the Chrome extension into Firefox.
Theres a few extensions that use the omnibar but i havent found them all that useful.

I wish pinboard had an option like evernote to display your pinned results next to google search results
