Highlighty: Search, Find, Multi Highlight EN

Highlighty is a multi-keyword finder for Firefox — a Ctrl+F replacement that searches, highlights, and navigates multiple words at once on supported webpages. PDF search and highlighting are available during a trial or with PRO.

Press Cmd/Ctrl+F on a supported page to launch Highlighty's built-in finder, with multi-query support, custom colors, and X-Ray navigation. RegExp is available during a trial or with PRO.

Built for anyone who scans long documents, contracts, academic papers, or technical reports.

Available for Firefox and other supported browsers. See our website for browser compatibility.
