Description

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

{find+} is a powerful Find-in-Page extension for Google Chrome allowing you to search a web page or document by regular expression. It has been designed to look and behave much like the native CTRL-F tool, but extended with various useful features.

With {find+}, you can match any legal JavaScript regular expression against text in the page, use find-and-replace to replace text in the page, copy occurrences of a regex to your clipboard, store frequently used expressions, and configure the extension the way you like.

As a software developer, looking through lengthy stack traces, continuous integration build history, or large text files is something we do very regularly. The Chrome Find-in-Page tool works well in most cases, but offers very little when looking for very specific (or very general) keywords.

A few notes:
- This tool was designed and built for developers. If you're not familiar with using regular expressions, this tool is not for you.
- This tool does not support dynamic pages. The purpose of this tool is to search for patterns in structured text, not in pages like Google Sheets or similar sites.
- This tool will struggle with significantly large pages. In these cases, using another tool might be more appropriate.

Great extension that does exactly what it claims. The copy all to clipboard feature is super useful for grabbing values from logs, or jumping through prices and discounts on a webshop. You can dump them to a spreadsheet or a scratch file and get useful data super quickly. Adding non capturing groups would be amazing for grabbing values that need a prefix or postfix to be identified that aren't part of the value itself.

Great extension. A bit clunky to use though. E.g. would be nice to have an option to always show the replace part.

I couldn't search for multiline text. I tried "a\nb", "a\\nb" and some other weird ideas but nothing worked. This would be a must-have for me. Otherwise, I would be happy to give 5 stars.
