Regex Search Extension

This is a chrome extension that allows you to search the text of a page using regular expressions. Please note that because of the way web pages are written, it is very difficult to make this extension work on 100% of pages. If you have any problems, please report them on the Github issues page: https://github.com/gsingh93/regex-search/issues.


Please DO NOT try to test this extension on any URL beginning with chrome.google.com/webstore. It will NOT work. See this question for details: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11613371/chrome-extension-content-script-on-https-chrome-google-com-webstore

Teran Briggs (ID: 00000011163d080f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/26/2019 Used this for about 5 minutes and got frustrated with it. The search functionality was not working for quite some time. It is case sensitive by default (unless you hunt for the setting) and the words are only highlighted on the page with the same color you use when selecting text. The screen does not jump to the next results so you have to scroll down the page yourself. Very annoying, download one of the other regex extensions.

Il ne veut même pas assumer que son application est complètement inefficace !! Je conseille fortement l'application concurrente "Chrome Regex Search". English The author is not ashamed to say that he ignores the old commentaries. He does not even want to assume that its application is completely ineffective !! I strongly advise the another application "Chrome Regex Search"
