Hi, Just downloaded this extension. Highlighting and colour system ideal. From historical posts I see there have been different versions. I would be giving this a 5 star if I could bracket multiple words in one colour (for similarity). Example: 'One, Two, Three' ...all in one colour and 'Water, Fire, Earth' again in the same 'group colour'? I was hoping to use the same keywords in this fashion on multiple documents. Therefore is there anyway (maybe on my own separate spreadsheet) I could copy/paste words into the search over a period of time? Is this possible? I already tried using _ , and just a space to no avail. Great work though! TY Update! Excellent feedback from the developer, his assistance below has given me EXACTLY what I wanted/needed for my project. Thank you!! FIVE STAR UPGRADE

I just had to reinstall windows and the problem is gone. It was caused by TransOver but i tried disable all extentions on the old windows and it just kept come back like the addon was still running. All extentions that do something on hover over them. maybe a chrome setting? On sites that use some hover marking like marking current forum post or wikipedia preview.

This extension allows you to search for occurrences of words/phrases in search results or within ANY website. It's the only extension I found on here that can do it without errors/bugs. Thank you SO MUCH for making this and keeping it free! I needed sometime like this so bad :D
