User reviews

Users appreciate the extension for powerful text highlighting, support for regular expressions, and a handy summary popup showing matched context. The dark background dimming reduces eye strain effectively. However, users face repeated issues with lack of multi-tab search, insufficient customization (like disabling auto-scroll and changing dimming), limited keyboard shortcuts, and poor support for PDFs or local files. Some usability concerns include search clearing undesirably on reload and a confusing ESC key handling. Overall, it's a strong tool but could improve accessibility and configurability based on feedback.

Pros

Effectively highlights search matches on web pages, making text easy to find.
Supports regular expression searches, enhancing search flexibility.
Dark background dimming feature reduces eye strain and improves visibility of highlighted text.
Provides a summary popup listing search matches with contextual snippets and quick navigation.
Lightweight and works well with multiple languages including Latin and Cyrillic characters.

Cons

Cannot apply search across multiple open tabs or windows simultaneously.
Limited customization options such as auto-scrolling behavior and background dimming settings.
Lacks convenient keyboard shortcuts for activation and exit; relies heavily on mouse interaction.
Does not work well or at all on some document types like online PDFs or local files.
Some issues with persistent search states; search clears on page reload or pressing ESC key with inconsistent behavior.

Works great - exactly what I needed - thanks!

Unusable. Can't see it. Can't change color. Might be conflict with browser dark mode.

I really like it and I'd give all possible stars, but please let the user configure it and prevent its auto-scrolling behavior. Just highlight the matches, but do not scroll to them. Thank you.
