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.

Mike Savad (ID: 000000a1dbfd0e92) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/13/2021 this thing is stupid. i'm trying to highlight terms on the page. and it does that. but if you have an open box of keywords - it erases the word as it finds it. its gone, just gone. its like it turned it into a find and replace, its not white, its just missing now. i think this is what i wanted in a program if it just highlighted things. but to make it vanish too? that's stupid. i don't get that.

FamKis (ID: 000000736023b882) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/25/2021 I'd recommend the less polished looking, but having tons more functionality addon SearchBar instead. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/searchbar/fjefgkhmchopegjeicnblodnidbammed Enjoy -- you can thank me later.

Рост Лёгкий (ID: 00000020fccd515c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/20/2021 Не хватает перемещения по найденным совпадениям слов, и чтоб через сочетания клавиш искало, и чтоб в память запоминало два три слова!.. Не совсем такое тут с этим подходит, буду искать дальше - другие расширения... Посоветуйте кто-что знает!
