MultiHighlighter

MultiHighlighter allows multi-word searching/highlighting on almost any web page. Each term is highlighted with a unique color.

What is MultiHighlighter?

MultiHighlighter is a Chrome extension that enables users to search multiple words or phrases on a webpage or in a local file and highlight each of these terms separately in distinct colors. In addition to highlighting, it provides an incremental count of matched terms and offers text redaction capabilities. The plugin can be activated via a hotkey combination and doesn't interfere with Chrome's default search functionality. The highlighting is sustained when pages are printed or saved as PDF.
