Type-ahead-find Extension

Type-ahead-find [1] is an accessibility feature to search links and text faster on a webpage. How to use it:

* Start writing (or press /) to start text search.
* Press ' to search only links.
* Change option \"direct search state\" to set the default search policy (text, links or disabled).
* Use (Shift+)F3 or (Shift+)Control+G or Alt+N/P to switch between matches.
* Use F4 to toggle matching mode (text/links) once the search is active.
* Blacklist sites that set up their own shortcuts.
* The search shows first matches in current viewport.

Limitations:

* It cannot search inside iframes.
* It does not search text in adjacent HTML nodes (i.e. \"hello\" won't be found in HTML Hello)
* If the page already sets Javascript keybidings, the extension may misbehave. The best solution is to blacklist the site in the options page and disable the extension for this particular website.
