{find+} by Brandon Richardson
Review by Glanzer
Rated 5 out of 5
by Glanzer, 4 years agoIt took me a while to find this add-on and I'm so glad I did. Seems to work well in my short 5 minute testing, i.e. I can search for regular expressions and jump through them using the up/down arrow keys. BTW, I'm not sure what Ckln was saying when he only gave this 2 stars because "On Firefox you can't have a shortcut to make the search pop up that's a shame." I use the default ctrl-shift-f and the search box pops up just fine in my Firefox.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Manny 78, 21 days agoI don't expect much more than find by regex... and it does (I just started using it). And since it does this simple thing i give it 5 stars because if there wasn't this I had to code a such extention by my self! GOOD JOB! So bad firefox don't have this out of the box.

Thanks great extension. So far the only one that has worked for me. - Rated 4 out of 5by narinciye, 7 months agoThanks for the best of existing regex search tools. Crashes on some huge sites (e.g. www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html)

- Rated 4 out of 5by dza, 9 months agoUnfortunately it adds a keyword "find %s" without toggle to the address bar. Kind of annoying, please add options.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15033454, a year agoRegex search is handy, but for some reason the developer decided to hijack the word "find" in the search bar, with no option to disable it or change the keyword. Very annoying, and disruptive enough that I'm uninstalling the addon.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Freyja, 2 years agoThis add on is super helpful and easy to use. It has made a huge difference for me and is exactly what I needed. I like that you can keep the highlights up

- Rated 3 out of 5by sgdl-pers, 2 years agoWorks great for searching normally and with regex. However, it hijacks the word "find" with NO option to disable it, which I do not like. Search hijacking is something trashy malware does and if its a feature it should be optional.
- Rated 4 out of 5by PeaceByJesus.net, 2 years agoA welcome addition to the deficient default find in page function, however, while I choose to highlight all occurrences of a search word (I read the wrench icon page) which can help, yet the search box disappears from view once you click in the page or a word to copy one instance of it.
Nor does it stay in view across tabs, which is an option that many users have requested of Firefox.
Otherwise, if you want to search again for the same word in the page (after clicking on the page ow word) rather than looking for highlights, or you want to search for the same word on another tab then you need to click the icon again.
Using F3 invokes the FF default find in page, which inconsistently sometimes remains in view, if not always keeping the same last search term. A bug has been filed.
All these years and many of us are still waiting for a true replacement of the old FindBar Tweak, though it did not allow Regex.
Note that I have hundreds of tabs open and do much research, and use a desktop, thus not being an average user.
Thank God for such developers as you who help us, Thanks. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17584497, 2 years agoI love to hit and type "find " and start searching, it's a breeze
- Rated 2 out of 5by Jon Q. Public, 2 years agoContent of page is deleted when moving from one search result to the next. Repro:
- go to https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/F50AFABA-4CDE-4A95-84D0-CA4C61819FEB/search?ingress=2&terms=tablets
- search with regex: [0-9.]+"
- click the down button 2+ times until the page scrolls
- Expected result: page would scroll or jump, and highlight would be on next result
- What happened: the content between page header and footer mysteriously vanished
The extension looks promising, but this being my first experience, kind of put me off. Look forward to developer followup, after which if the problem clears up I'll review again and revise my review.
Update: I disabled uBlock Origin, the only other extension I had installed. Bug still occurs. I also tried repro with browser Cmd-F, didn't repro. I'll continue trying to use it and report any issues here. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14033823, 2 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Torstein Krause Johansen, 3 years agoThanks for making this add-on. This extension deserves a larger audience, has there been any attempt/interest in getting this into the builtin Ctrl+f search?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Brock, 3 years ago4 Months after my initial review: Amazing plugin. Thank you Mr. Richardson.
Great regex search plugin. The search function works flawlessly. I deduct one start, as there is no find next/previous keyboard shortcut (at least I don't know of one). Having a shortcut for these two features would be the icing on the cake! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12564382, 3 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17096977, 3 years agoIt's good for regex search.
But for some reason, this add-on takes over whenever you use the search bar for anything beginning with 'find'. You can only use it to see how many matches are on the page. Annoying and useless feature.
