User reviews

This tool is quick to setup and easy to use. I wish I could pick the color each team is assigned, but I can't find any similar tools that allow color picking. Compared to other similar tool, this one is quick to set up multiple search terms.

request: color configurations, because i'm colorblind

Es una muy buena herramientá para buscar palabras en diferentes páginas, pero el problema es que no funciona bien cuando se usa para buscar varias palabras en Excel de Google Docs, no encuentra las palabras que se agregan en la hoja, en contraste con el buscador normal de Ctrl-f, que aunque sólo busca una palabra a la vez, la encuentra en la hoja de Excel con facilidad.
