  • Great idea but...

    This is a great idea and a useful utility but please **give us the option to define the keyboard-shortcut ourselves** instead of hardwiring it.
  • Works as Advertised

    Safari is not my primary browser on the Mac, I've grown to appreciate this extension so much - that it is jarring when I go to my other browser and its not there! Also, you can't beat that once you've purchased this on the mac its now available for free on iOS and iPadOS.

    To the Developer - please bring this to Chromium based browsers!
  • Thanks for the Kagi support!

    Great extension! Thanks so much for adding Kagi support.
  • Great app, one recommendation

    Love the idea of this app, please add opacity options so it can be more transparent for times it’s needed
  • The app you didn’t know you needed

    I love this app. I accidentally turned the app off and was getting upset that my words weren’t highlighted. It’s already one of those things that’s an everyday part of search for me. I love that it just works.
  • Google Search Speed Boost 🚀

    The Magic Highlighter is such a speed boost to the workflow I use most throughout the day: google search. Whether for personal or business use, having search terms highlighted on the resulting page gets you the answer you’re looking for instantly.

  • Cool concept, tweaks would make it perfect

    I love this idea of introducing a visual continuity betwen my searches and the links I click on.

    One thing I've noticed is that the highlights can be a bit noisy depending on the search and destination.

    Some ideas to improve this:
    - Option to only activate on queries with greater than X number of words
    - Option to ignore stop words ("the", "a", "an", etc.)
    - Option to only add highlights if the query is found fewer than X times on the page
  • LOVE IT!!

    I love little productivity hacks like this! Bravo 👏👏👏
