How to search multiple words at a time in the Webpage?

Very frequently, we search for some content in a webpage. What if you want to search multiple words in a web page? You search for a word first, scroll through the results and then search for the next word. I did the same thing too, until I found awesome extensions of Chrome and Firefox, through which we can search for multiple words at a time in the web page. 
Let us discuss about'em today:


i. For Mozilla Firefox:

1.SearchWP: This extension works by using the existing search field at the top of your browser. Each word will be given a different color. You can toggle SearchWP, but clicking the “highlighter” icon seen next to the search box in the image. If you want to jump to a specific word, just click it in the search box. If there’s multiple instances of the same word, you can continue to click it to jump to each one throughout the page.

2. SearchLoad Options: IT is the smart extension that perfectly fills the gap offering some essential but missing search bar options. Its best feature is that it allows you to open search results in a new foreground or a background tab which makes the search experience free of any clutter at all. Install it @ :https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchload-options/

ii.For Chrome:

1. Pearl Extension: It gives you the ability for quick search results on any webpage. It’s unique in that you can dedicate specific queries for a single page or domain, and it will remember them the next time you visit the page or domain. You can also enter queries for any page. Don’t be overwhelmed by the three text fields, though if you’re just looking to search multiple words on a webpage here or there – any field will work.

2. Multi-highlighter:  This is another Chrome extension that allows multi-word searching and highlighting. Like other search tools, each term is given its own color. You don’t need to separate the words with a comma, instead just put a space between each one. To the right of the text field, there’s a box that displays the count of the number of matched terms appearing on the page.Check it out @: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/multihighlighter/ocifbglmlbpgpbflnkfpclkmckoollbn?hl=en

3. efTwo (F2): This is another option for searching multiple words simultaneously on a webpage. It also has several more options, giving you more control over its features.
The first one on the list, means that if you type something in the Google search, it will automatically be copied into the efTwo search box. Another great feature is each search term can easily be found with arrows along the right side of the screen.



Each of these tools have their different unique features.Which one(s) appeal the most to you? Feel free to provide feedback on what you think after trying them and if there’s any others that we left out.
