New Chrome Regex Search

Open-source (MIT) fork of Chrome Regex Search. New find bar, improved regex, and whole-pattern matches.

New Chrome Regex Search is a find-in-page tool for Chrome. It adds a search bar on the tab you are viewing, so you can find text on a webpage with a regular expression or with the text as written. It is an open-source (MIT) alternative to Chrome’s find bar when you need regex search, case-sensitive search, or whole-word search. Open the bar from the extension icon. The suggested shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+F on Windows, ChromeOS, and Linux, and Command+Shift+F on macOS (set it in chrome://extensions/shortcuts). Type in the bar and matching text on the page is highlighted. The current match is marked separately from the others, and the bar shows the count, such as 1 of 3. The extension icon shows the same total. Features: - Find in page on the current tab, from a bar fixed on the page - Literal search by default, so characters such as . + ( ) * are searched as written - Regular expression search when you turn on the .* button - Case-sensitive search with the Aa button; case is ignored until you turn it on - Whole-word search with the ab button, so a match is not part of a longer word - A space in a literal search matches spaces, tabs, and line breaks - Text split across inline tags is searched as one phrase - Visible text in open shadow roots and in SVG is included - Text in input fields and text areas is included; the current match is selected in the field - Matches inside iframes on the page are counted and stepped through together - Hidden elements (hidden or display:none) are skipped - Next match with Enter or the down arrow; previous match with Shift+Enter or the up arrow - Close the bar with Esc; the highlights are removed - Copy every match to the clipboard - Search history of recent terms, stored on your device (30 entries by default) - Instant highlighting as you type, or search only when you press Enter - Highlight color, selected-match color, and text color are configurable - Maximum number of matches (500 by default) and history length are configurable - Settings stay in the browser with chrome.storage.local and are not sent to a server The extension does not replace Chrome’s Ctrl+F. It does not search other tabs, your bookmarks, or your browsing history. It only reads the page in the tab where you opened the bar.
