Multi Find: Search and Highlight Extension

Multi Find allows you to smoothly search and highlight fragments, words or phrases within any webpage.

Multi Find is Unicode-friendly: it can handle non-English characters (Chinese, Japanese etc.) and special symbols. You can also turn on and off case or diacritic sensitiveness. It works on iframes and dynamically loaded content (regular webpage but also blogs, forums and even video subtitles).

What you see in the input box is what you get in the webpage, as the input box is formatted exactly like the result of the highlighting. An addition, the list of words can be manipulated through a toolbar.

Other notable features of Multi Find:
- Four ways to fill the input box: by directly typing into it, by copying and pasting, by loading a text file or by selecting a word on the webpage and using the contextual menu (right-click).
- Persistant list of words across different tabs, browser windows, and future sessions (local storage only, nothing is in the cloud)
- Number of occurrences for each searched word and the total count
- Navigation buttons to scroll through the occurrences of highlighted words
- Scrollbar marks to easily locate the highlighted words within the page
- Full customization of the interface (including dark theme) through persistent settings.

Lucival Bento Paulino Filho (ID: 0000001325c29d36) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/17/2024 Perfect!

Valér Klósz (ID: 000000f87bf2ff6d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/02/2023 No key short-cut. Would be the best if it replaced native ctrl+F function and remember the last search on if a new page is loaded or opened.

火口的 世界 (ID: 000000a518c3da98) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/24/2023 I use this nearly every day to help me read long articles. It's a boost! Thanks for bringing us a great tool like this. And I wish there could be a global shortcut inside the browser that while the word is been selected, we can press the shortcut to add it to the highlight list directly. This could be much more convenient. 2023/11/24 So thrilled to see this feature rolled out so quickly! Kudos!!

Rasmus Underbjerg Pinnerup (ID: 00000023278dcba8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/16/2023 Great little extension. So much functionality crammed into such a little tool makes me thrilled that I stumbled across it after having looked long for something of this kind. The author furthermore was incredibly responsive, incorporating a feature I suggested (one letter search) right away. Cannot recommend this enough.
