Extension summary

Analyze keywords

FindR is a handy extension that does exactly what the name implies: it finds and replaces words, allowing you to completely change the text of any website. This is great for pranking and trolling and just having fun with funny edits on pages. On a more practical note, it also has an input field option that allows you to easily find and replace all the text in input fields (such as forms, etc.)

NOTE: After installation or updates, refresh any previously opened pages to make the extension work.

Usage:

As you type a search term, it finds matches on the page. You can replace by typing text in the replace box and either clicking the arrows (replace one by one) or "Replace All"
NEW! An options page that allows users to save find/replace pairs that automatically apply to any new tab.

Features:

Case-sensitive search
Full Word search
Regular Expression support for searching
Input Fields allows users to replace text within input fields (note: this only allows "Replace All" - it doesn't highlight matches).
NEW! Automatic find/replace background functionality

Amazing extension.
Excellent addon for Chrome.
Bem útil pra busca e correção de palavras, com opções avançadas.
Great extension! I was wondering if theres a way to keep the extension from closing once you tap in the browser.
I find this excellent for batch editing metadata in a digital repository.
I used it for replacing ß to ss, becuase I am a Swiss person and in Swiss we use ss instead of ß.
thank you very much
very good
Awesome
Greatest extension ever! To the author, seriously, you should drop out of school and go to work for Google, I have been waiting for this functionality in Chrome for many years, finally found out about this extension just now via a Quora post.

Cons

Doesn't work for inputs, always resetting the values after save.
It didn't work on Facebook photo descriptions input textboxes, in Google Sheets and even on this Webstore reviews input box. It didn't find even a single letter. I tried with both checked and unchecked "Input fields" flag. I refreshed tabs after I installed this extension.
Doesn't work
It doesn't work, sorry(
Не работает
4 and not 5 stars because I can either replace all occurrences nor none, but despite the UI suggests it shall be possible, I cannot jump from search hit to search hit and choose to replace or omit a single hit.
I can't Find and replace number
Cool idea but doesn't work.
Totally not work
Not working. Hope it could work.
