## Description

ctrl-f ULTRA upgrades the browser’s built-in find so you can search the way you actually work: several terms at once, real regex when you need it, and highlights you can read at a glance. Open the bar with your usual shortcut (for example Ctrl+F or Command+F), stay on the keyboard to move between matches, and keep your favorite queries handy. Matching runs locally in your browser; there is no account and no separate service to sign in to.

What you get:
<ul><li>Multi-term highlights — Search multiple terms in one go; each term gets its own highlight color. You can set your own colors per term (and save those choices with a saved query when you want them back later).</li><li>Regex — Full regular-expression search when you turn regex mode on, for patterns like emails, IDs, or custom formats.</li><li>Plain-text options — Case-sensitive search and whole-word matching when you are not using regex, so you can tighten matches without writing a pattern.</li><li>PDFs — Open in-browser PDFs in the bundled viewer and use the same find bar, regex, and highlights as on normal pages.</li><li>Multi-tab search (optional) — Run one query across tabs in the current window when you need to scan a whole session.</li><li>Saved queries — Store searches you reuse often and recall them in one click.</li><li>Accessible colors — Color-vision presets (including deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia) so generated highlight colors stay easier to tell apart; you can still override individual term colors anytime.</li><li>Keyboard-first — Cycle matches from the bar with Enter and Shift+Enter, and use the extension shortcuts for next and previous match while you read the page.</li></ul>
