## Description

AfterSearchWE is a Firefox add-on designed to simplify searching within lengthy web pages such as forums or archives. Instead of manually entering keywords into the find bar, AfterSearchWE automatically converts each keyword you searched into clickable buttons displayed at the bottom of the page. This lets you quickly navigate and locate keywords on the currently viewed webpage with a single click.

Replacing traditional find functions, AfterSearchWE offers a faster and easier search experience. Disabling the AfterSearch bar is just a click away on the toolbar, providing added convenience. If you often browse large pages and need efficient keyword locating, AfterSearchWE streamlines your workflow and boosts productivity.
