BetterSearch Extension

This extension makes looking for things easier! It is the 21st century and we are still stuck in the dinosaur ages when it comes to finding information on a webpage.

Some things that set this extension apart from your default Ctrl+f search:

- Loose Search! Lets be honest, who really knows how to spell? Not me! I made the perfect solution for just that. Find that word on the tip of your tongue without having to pull out the dictionary first.
- Regular expressions. You can now search using variable string patterns. Want to find all numbers on a page? search for `\\d+` BAM easy.
- Multiple selections. Ever want to find two separate phrases at the same time? Now you can!
- Copy selections to the clipboard. Yup, you can now copy all selected text to your clipboard. That'll make manual data scraping easier.
