Pearls Extension Extension

There are many web pages that contain large lists of information that are constantly updated. When repeatedly searching for multiple interesting words (which could be a large set), it would be useful to save those words and automatically search for them as the web page is updated. Pearls provides this functionality and allows you to specify sets of words per page, domain, or for all pages.

You should reload your pages after installing the extension.

Last Update 1.0.9.1:

- Added a backup button to ensure data safety for an upcoming Chrome update that might disable the extension after June 15

Google Chrome is requiring extension developers to make major changes on how their extensions work. I am currently working on this and hope the migration can be finished soon before problems affect users. I am deeply sorry if this happens. Pearls has not received my attention in a while since my current job does not give me time to do more development at home. However, after this migration is finished, I do plan to give more time to Pearls and satisfy some common user requests.

Freddy (ID: 0000008a50cf14e7) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/12/2021 Es una muy buena herramientá para buscar palabras en diferentes páginas, pero el problema es que no funciona bien cuando se usa para buscar varias palabras en Excel de Google Docs, no encuentra las palabras que se agregan en la hoja, en contraste con el buscador normal de Ctrl-f, que aunque sólo busca una palabra a la vez, la encuentra en la hoja de Excel con facilidad.

Milk Carrot (ID: 00000029b3754454) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/12/2021 Hi! I tried 4 different similar apps and this one had the best search algorithm (Cyrillic). There are still disadvantages: 1. The application has no settings. I, for example, did not find the possibility to choose the colors for highlighting. And for me this is extremely important, because I am color blind. The app itself often selects light blue (probably) and light pink (probably) colors for highlighting and they blend in with the back of the site for me. I'd like to be able to adjust the colors. 2. I don't classify this as a disadvantage because I'm not sure if it can be done technologically. With "ribbon" sites, where new information is loaded to an existing page on demand, the app does not scan new information. To force scanning, you have to change the search query in the app itself, after which it works normally again. But you have to do this after every subloading. Thanks for this app, it helps a lot even as it is!
