en It kind of works, but the annoying thing is that it doesn't function for symbols. So searching something like * or + alone won't work...and guess what I needed this for. :')

ru Отличное расширение. Работает как и должно. Выделяет от одного символа до целого предложения.

en Maybe I'm dense, but I can't make it work at all. Instructions might help, or maybe it's just broken.
