  YouTube Intent Highlighter – Smart Search Assistance
  
  Update 1.0.2
  --Smarter Highlighting
  YouTube Intent Highlighter now understands your intent, not just keywords.
  See more relevant results instantly — faster, clearer, smarter.
  
  YouTube Intent Highlighter helps you discover relevant videos without changing or manipulating YouTube’s search results. We do not interfere with rankings, visibility, or recommendations. Instead, we analyze the visible results and clearly show which intent matched and whether the match is weak or strong, helping you understand relevance at a glance.
  
  This extension works with your regular YouTube searches. When you search for any topic, it scans the visible results and highlights videos that match your personal intent.
  
  Example --
  If your intent is set to "Running" and you search for “good lifestyle habits” or “celebrity workouts”, any video related to running will be highlighted and labeled with its matching strength. This helps you spot relevant content faster without changing your natural browsing behavior.
  
  In short, this tool supports passive search — you search normally, and we assist you by visually marking and explaining what matters to you.
  
  Perfect for fitness lovers, learners, researchers, focused viewers, and everyone who wants smarter discovery without distractions.
  
  Download now and make YouTube work for your goals.
