The search is done not only on the 1 page you are viewing at the time you click as [Ctrl]+[F] does but instead Google is used to "site search" within ALL pages of the site. Search websites the easy way!<br />Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362447090339269962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-72375267480586718662015-05-06T07:08:55.047-07:002015-05-06T07:08:55.047-07:00One thing that I have found really useful with usi...One thing that I have found really useful with using Control-F in Chrome is that you can see all the occurrence of a word in the scroll bar. However, I have often wished that I could open a second find box, and see all the occurrences of a different word in the search bar in a different colour at the the same time. <br /><br />A similar idea for an extension would be one where the terms you searched for in google to bring you to that documents appear highlighted in the text (and scroll bar), when you open the document. A huge part of the search process is opening pages and quickly deciding if they are relevant to you or not, and the quicker you can find the words that brought you to the that page the quicker you can decide if it is relevant.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05771391220758627361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-51536115107453286582015-05-06T06:41:28.435-07:002015-05-06T06:41:28.435-07:00Let us know what your experiments reveal!

You have given me some ideas and I'm going to do some experimenting to see what kind of results I can achieve (or perhaps what I can't achieve). I'll post any worthwhile results. Thanks for such a detailed response.Rosemary Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291661159622665464noreply@blogger.com
