What is Word Highlighter?
Word Highlighter is a useful Chrome extension in its beta stage designed to streamline the process of searching for similar texts on a webpage. By simply double-clicking on a word, the extension triggers an automatic highlighting of matching terms, bypassing the need to use the traditional search function (Ctrl+F or command+F). While it generally provides accurate results, some unpredictable selections can occur given it's in its development stage.
