Speaking of Firefox

I would like to find an addon that would allow me to search multiple
terms at the same time.

If I did a search and it returned 100 surnames, I would like to search
the returned list for jones, doe, and smith in one pass. Yes I could
run individual search for each jones, doe, smith but an addon that would
do all three in one pass would be nicer

As an example If I do a seas of an online database and it returns 50
different matches, I would like to search the returned matches for for
or five specific terms.

Is this a feature you found on a particular web site ?

Are you referring to some results that came back
from a Google search ?

Provide a picture link, if it helps establish what
you're seeing on the screen, so we can understand the
context more precisely.

One way to do it, on a particular web site, is to use
Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey, and add code whenever that
web page is visited. But this requires the skills of
a programmer, to gain maximum benefit. People use this
for doing stuff, like removing unnecessary decorations
or popups from some sites, rendering them more readable.

Specific the need arises on Ancestry when looking at DNA matches. When
you look at an online tree of a person who is a DNA match, all of the
surnames in the Match's tree are listed. This can be quite a few.

Rather than search the web presentation for each surname; it would be
nice to put your surnames in a search string and it would return hits on
all of the surnames in the Match's tree.

Does "Save As" "Web Page Complete" work on a site like that ?

I'm just trying to think of ways you could scrape the data.
The data you want, might not actually be stored in HTML
code, but done some other (useless) way.

There might be commercial offerings that expose more
of the data you seek, but they also require sharing your
DNA with them.

Maybe slow and steady is the way to go.

I haven't used it myself, but the "Regex Search" extension
should allow you to do this.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/regexsearch/

A basic regex (regular expression) to search for Tom, Dick, or Harry,
all in one pass, would look like this

Tom|Dick|Harry

For help with regex in the Regex Search extension, see

Could this be used: https://codingislove.com/http-requests-excel-vba/
I never have used it, but it looks interesting.
