Screenshots
Bookmarklets are bookmarks with javascript instead of normal URLs. They show up in "button" form when located in the bookmarks toolbar. A click on such a button will highlight text on any page and jump to the first occurrence.First make the bookmarks toolbar visible, e.g. via a right-click on the three horizontal bars in the browser's upper right corner. Personally, I prefer to have the old fashioned menu bar (File/View/...) visible as well, because I can drag the bookmark toolbar's content into that menu bar, too, using "Customize..." and then make the bookmarks toolbar invisible again to save one row (see the next screenshot)If your screen resolution is high enough to fit much into one row, you can integrate the bookmark toolbar's content into the menu toolbar via Customize... (right-click on the three horizontal bars for Settings), since you need to add one row for the bookmark buttons anyway, and sometimes the direct access to File/View is handy. Then you can uncheck the now empty bookmarks toolbar because everything happens in the menu bar now.
About this extension
When visiting a Google*) Search result page, for every keyword a bookmark with javascript (i.e. a bookmarklet) is added to the bookmarks toolbar. Make sure you have that toolbar visible, see the other screenshots on the Firefox add-on page. Each bookmarklet highlights its keyword in any open browser tab and scrolls that page to the n_th occurence when clicked n times.

An extra bookmarklet with a black triangle ▲ scrolls upwards to the previous occurence of the current search term

The bookmarklet with half a square ◧ toggles between exact and partial match ("new" matches "news")

Preconfigured for Google, Bing, Duckduckgo, Yandex. See options.
Note: Highlighting won't work on pages where Content Security Policy (CSP) blocks bookmarklets in general (e.g. news.google and yandex .com).
Developer comments
The idea is: On a google search result page, the keywords in the search field will be used to create one bookmarklet per keyword in the bookmarks toolbar. The bookmarklets when clicked upon will dispatch a custom event "swpfsmod" with detail.kw information that contains the respective keyword.

The content script attaches an eventListener for swpfsmod to the current document, which handles the highlighting etc. of the current tab using the JQuery 3.3.1. javascript library (https://jquery.com/) and the
Mark.js highlighting extension (https://markjs.io/).
