When you click on or select a word, the extension finds and visually marks every occurrence of that word, either within the current cell or across all cells in the notebook, depending on your configuration.\n\nThe extension is based on CodeMirror's Match Highlighter addon but extends it to work across multiple cell editors in a notebook. It offers many configuration options\u2014highlight color, scope (single cell or all cells), outline-only highlighting, minimum character thresholds, keyboard shortcuts, and performance tuning for large notebooks. Configuration is managed through the notebook config system and can be adjusted via the jupyter_nbextensions_configurator UI or programmatically.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned\u2014no updates since 2018 and no commits since 2019. While it has low install friction and no dependencies, it is unlikely to work reliably with modern Jupyter versions and will not receive fixes for compatibility issues or bugs.
