Features & Capabilities

Multiple Search and Highlight is a versatile Chrome extension designed to enhance your text search experience. It allows you to highlight multiple words or phrases simultaneously using customizable separators such as commas, spaces, or any regular expression. Its powerful features include support for multiple highlighters, different splitter characters, and text formatting like underline and bold, making it highly adaptable for any use case.

The extension operates entirely offline, protecting your privacy by avoiding server-side interactions. Its interface resembles the browser's default find tool and offers intuitive navigation through search terms using the Enter and Shift + Enter keys. Additionally, it supports automatic query search per URL and annotates pages with distinct colors for easy identification, all while consuming zero resources when inactive.

User Reviews

Users praise Multiple Search and Highlight for its simplicity, effective multi-term highlighting, and no-permission requirement. Common issues include highlights disappearing when the popup loses focus or is closed, lack of a persistent search interface, and absence of keyboard shortcuts. Users also request features like dark mode and better handling of highlights during scrolling or tab changes. Overall, it is considered powerful but would benefit from improvements to usability and customization.

Cons

Search highlights disappear when clicking outside the popup or closing the search window.
Lacks a persistent search bar that remains open until manually closed.
No dark mode available.
No keyboard shortcuts implemented to quickly invoke or manage searches.
Highlighting sometimes disappears when scrolling or switching tabs.

This add-on is amazing, thank you for developing it! Just wanted to report that, after the update from July 28th, I can no longer browse the highlighted text: it is indeed highlighted, but when I move the arrows in the add-on, nothing happens and it doesn't center on the next word. Would that be fixable?

Is Multiple Search and Highlight Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Multiple Search and Highlight does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Multiple Search and Highlight is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
