Love this extension, simple and efficient. Wondering if there's way to toggle multiple highlighting, i.e when selecting new words, add the new highlight (maybe in a different color) and also keep the previous highlight. There are some cases that I want to grep for multiple keyword. Thanks in advance.

Love it but in the last week or two it seems to have stopped working for me.

Works but not on Google Docs which I'm trying to use it for so I can mass edit docs.
