{find+}

A find-in-page extension with support for regular expressions.

{find+} is a powerful Chrome extension that significantly enhances the native find-in-page feature by supporting JavaScript regular expressions. Designed primarily for developers, it enables searching web pages or documents with complex regex patterns, facilitating precise text matching beyond simple keywords.

Key features include find-and-replace functionality, the ability to copy regex matches to the clipboard, and storing frequently used expressions for quick reuse. The extension mimics the native CTRL-F tool but adds much-needed power and flexibility for examining large logs, stack traces, or structured text files. Note that {find+} is best suited for static pages and may not perform well on dynamic content or very large pages.

User reviews

The Firefox add-on {find+} is praised for adding regex-based searching and better highlighting than Firefox's default find. Users find it easy and helpful, especially for research. However, multiple complaints highlight that it hijacks the "find" keyword in the address bar without toggles, the search box can disappear during interaction, lacks keyboard shortcuts for navigating results, and has occasional bugs like page content disappearing during use. Overall, it fills a gap but has usability and stability issues that users hope the developer will address.
Pros
  • Supports regex search, a feature not built-in to Firefox by default.
  • Easy to use and very helpful for searching text on pages.
  • Effectively highlights all occurrences of search terms, aiding visibility.
  • Appreciated by users who do extensive research or need advanced search capabilities.
  • Provides a much-needed enhancement over Firefox's default find functionality.
Cons
  • Hijacks the keyword "find" in the address bar without an option to disable or change it, which annoys users.
  • Search box disappears from view when clicking on the page or copying text, affecting usability.
  • No support for find next/previous keyboard shortcuts, limiting navigation through search results.
  • Some users report bugs such as page content disappearing when moving between search results on certain sites.
  • Does not persist across tabs and requires clicking the icon again to search in new tabs.
