What is Pearls Extension?

The 'Pearls Extension' is a Chrome utility to aid users in searching for their specified words on selected webpages. By storing words of interest, it lets users effortlessly locate these terms as the pages are updated, without having to manually search repeatedly. This case-sensitive system ensures precision and can support complex terms that are often overlooked. Furthermore, the Pearls Extension offers user-friendly implementation, requiring only a simple page reload after installation. With the latest update, it has enhanced search functionality and improved compatibility with multiple frames.

Summary

Analyze keywords

There are many web pages that contains big lists of information constantly updated. As someone would repeatedly search for multiple interesting words that also could be a large set, it would be interesting to save those words and automatically search for them as the web page is updated. Back when IRC was used as an keep-updated-tool, this feature was called THE NoTifY LiST. Here I'm calling it Pearls, for some reason (I'll find out which someday).

You should reload your pages after installing the extension. (Nothing better than a restart here and there...).

Last Update:

Now searching by words in double quotes will find them with case sensitive. i.e. "Go" will not match in "go there" but in "the Go language".
Bug fixes: frames. Not all, but the most important will work. Certain words like C++ will not break the highlighting.

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.
