When I open PDF files on Chrome from my computer, this search doesn't work. That is the main purpose that I would've wanted to use this add-on for.

Best in its class. Better than many similar highlighters, yet, very simple to use. Thank you!
With the possibility to set the delimiter to comma, you can highlight search terms containing spaces - very good!
Change color on new line only - clever feature.
Negative: options page does not work, does not remember the settings.

I liked this extension and it had worked as expected until last month, but it does not work as far as I test it on Chrome version 97.0.4692.71 on macOS.
