Highlights all occurrences of the currently selected word on page. Double click a word to highlight all occurances. Double clicking another word will highlight the new words.
Full summary

An extension that highlights all occurrences of the currently selected word or phrase (recognizing different word forms in English). This is useful to outline central concepts in a text, or visually highlight where a specific identifier is used in code in browser window. Double-click a word on the current page to highlight it and all it's occurrences.

Just double click to highlight the places that word occurs.

There are places that it won't work or may break the page. Things like Twitter that load content are unlikely to work at all. Some sites just have badly written javascript that breaks and prevents me from running my code.

TODO: build a way to disable the extension on sites that you select (maybe because you don't want or because you found it won't work);

Update: bugfix v1.0.1 - won't search when highlighting words in a textbox. updates v1.0.2 - add link to search google since the word is no longer highlighted.
