Hello Product Hunt! Although I am a rather old (not to say experienced) programmer, this is my first browser extension, so I am very excited. This extension enhances the regular Ctrl-F function of your browser by allowing you to search for multiple words at a time. You can easily type - or copy and paste - your list of words (separated by line breaks) directly into the input box, and they will be highlighted exactly as they appear on the webpage. Buttons and keyboard shortcuts enable you to jump from one highlighted word to another, and colorful scrollbar marks help you locate them even better. I would love to hear your feedback, whether it's about any bugs you find or new features you would like to see. Thank you for your support, and happy hunting!

Perhaps some of you already have a highlighter. If this is the case, I invite you to compare it to Multi Find by visiting the test page, which you can find at the bottom of Multi Find website's main page. On the other hand, if you don't have a highlighter yet, I am confident Multi Find can be your essential highlighter tool: this extension highlights multiple words with different colors in real time, can be case sensitive or diacritic sensitive and works also if dynamic content is loaded in the page. And it is available for Chrome, Edge and Firefox. Any feedback is welcome! Thanks!

Hello! I am currently working on an upgrade. iFrames (you know, those webpages into webpages) should be soon fully supported. Following some feedback, the behavior of the "highlight" button will also be changed. And perhaps, there will be something more... Stay tuned!

Does it also recognize spaces? For example, if I search for myhome, I wonder if it will also find my home.

Hello @frida_sp , thanks for your question. And the answer is... no, not directly, but depending on your use case, there are three different solutions that can hopefully solve your problem. Here are the options: Obviously, you can search exact matching for both "myhome" and "my home" (with no quotation marks) if you separated the two expressions by a line break. This is the most simple way to achieve your goal, with no side effect: expressions containing a space can be recognized as a single expression (and not two separated words). You can also search for words containing "my" and "home" separated by a line break. It will recognize the two expressions (but also a bunch of other words like "academy" or "homework"). And finally, you can search either for words beginning with "my" or words ending by "home" (once again other words may be recognize like "mystery" or "townhome"). To exactly answer your need, I would need to add regex (regular expressions) or wildcards ("my?home") but this is not done yet. Hope this helps.

@vincent_greco Thanks for the kind words, I'll definitely give it a try! (And we just launched a little while ago, so if you have time, we'd love to have you support us 😄)
