Highlight searched keywords. Find matches instantly.
Mark My Search is a complete word finder for anything you search online. Powerful highlighting and advanced features combine with a friendly, intuitive interface to provide effortless text finding without the compromise. Vibrant highlight colors look great on any page, complemented by scroll markers for locating matches and a keyword edit bar which stays until you're done. Shortcuts are available for every action while varied options let you personalise to your taste.
Search for anything, on any search engine - DuckDuckGo, Google, Bing, even Reddit - and Mark My Search will pick out the words you're looking for, in that page and through any links you follow. Highlighting happens without having to press a button! Activate on any page using Alt+M or the context menu.
Mark My Search is Free and Open Source on GitHub(1). See the Roadmap(2) for planned improvements!

⎻⎻⎻⎻ Accessibility ⎻⎻⎻⎻
To turn off visibility for automatic highlighting, simply open the options page at chrome://extensions > Mark My Search [Details] > [Extension options] and disable both visibility settings. The highlights will be hidden, while the toolbar and scroll markers remain visible, ready to be shown at a moment's notice. This does not apply to manually activated highlighting.
To turn off automatic highlighting completely, click the extension's icon to open the popup, and disable "Detect search engines".
You may wish to press the top-right puzzle piece (Extensions) and 'pin' the Mark My Search icon, so that you can easily click it to open the popup.

- (2023-09-05) Taras Tarasov: It works great. Thank you!
- (2023-03-27) Vinícius Marques: Very interesting, congrats! I do have a few issues on Notion though besides not finding every result. Seems like Notion is capturing keystrokes when I try to edit a search word, so I ended up deleting a block instead of editing the search text. Regarding not finding every result on Notion, I was kinda expecting it not to work there to be honest, because none of the other extensions I tried worked. Anyways, not sure if it is doable, but would be nice to have it working there as well. I'm mainly interested in the regex search. Update: Very responsive developer. Already addressing the issues here mentioned and although not yet perfect, it does work better than any other alternative on Notion, you just have to toggle one of the experimental options.

I think a shortcut should exist (default) or ability to replace the standard shortcut (i.e. cmd + f) Hope to hear back Sincerely # 2023-01-06 A+ email support # 2023-02-26 Just discovered it updates to find search terms with pagination (e.g. infinite scroll), which (unbelievably) none of my browsers support (e.g. Brave, Vivaldi) 🤩
- (2023-02-05) Quy Lê: just start using it and love the features, but I hope there is an option for changing the hotkey. thank you very much.
- (2022-11-05) Ray Hoertz: Finally! Thank you developer! Absolutely love this extension, but find it completely ridiculous and a little infuriating that I had to learn about it from a reply by the Mark My Search developer to a negative comment about kinda similar (but vastly inferior) extension! Apparently Google now cares about advertising revenue so much that they are failing as a basic search engine, because I tried multiple searches to find an extension to highlight keywords in search results without ever seeing this wonderful new extension! Which is especially absurd when you see how terrible the reviews are for the extensions they do show in the search results! I tried several of those - none of which worked consistently - before ever finding Mark My Search. And it's not like the MMS developer didn't include all the keywords in the description. They did. Google just blew it!
