## Description

**Multi Find** helps you search and highlight multiple words, phrases, and keywords on webpages at the same time. Assign up to 20 customizable colors, count occurrences instantly, browse results with keyboard shortcuts, and use wildcard patterns for flexible searches. Case-sensitive, whole-word, and diacritic-sensitive options provide precise control.

Highlights persist across reloads and dynamic navigation, while bulk import and export make it easy to manage large term lists. The movable, transparent search panel stays synchronized with page highlights. Multi Find works locally with no ads, tracking, account, or hidden permissions, making it useful for research, studying, analysis, legal work, and dense webpages.
