Always highlight a set of words stored for chosen webpages.

There are many web pages that contains big lists of information constantly updated. As someone would repeatedly search for multiple interesting words that also could be a large set, it would be interesting to save those words and automatically search for them as the web page is updated. Back when IRC was used as an keep-updated-tool, this feature was called THE NoTifY LiST. Here I'm calling it Pearls, for some reason (I'll find out which someday).

You should reload your pages after installing the extension. (Nothing better than a restart here and there...).

Last Update:
- Now searching by words in double quotes will find them with case sensitive. i.e. "Go" will not match in "go there" but in "the Go language".
- Bug fixes: frames. Not all, but the most important will work. Certain words like C++ will not break the highlighting.

Es una muy buena herramientá para buscar palabras en diferentes páginas, pero el problema es que no funciona bien cuando se usa para buscar varias palabras en Excel de Google Docs, no encuentra las palabras que se agregan en la hoja, en contraste con el buscador normal de Ctrl-f, que aunque sólo busca una palabra a la vez, la encuentra en la hoja de Excel con facilidad.

Hi! I tried 4 different similar apps and this one had the best search algorithm (Cyrillic). There are still disadvantages:
1. The application has no settings. I, for example, did not find the possibility to choose the colors for highlighting. And for me this is extremely important, because I am color blind. The app itself often selects light blue (probably) and light pink (probably) colors for highlighting and they blend in with the back of the site for me. I'd like to be able to adjust the colors.
2. I don't classify this as a disadvantage because I'm not sure if it can be done technologically. With "ribbon" sites, where new information is loaded to an existing page on demand, the app does not scan new information. To force scanning, you have to change the search query in the app itself, after which it works normally again. But you have to do this after every subloading.

Thanks for this app, it helps a lot even as it is!
