- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15212506, 5 years agoGood!
- It works very well.
- There is a shortcut key to access. (Ctrl-Shift-F)
- It is simple and compact, and easy to use. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14809776, 5 years agoI don't know if it is a coincidence or not, but ever since I installed this extension I've been constantly getting redirected to under2given(dot)com. It hasn't stopped so I had to uninstall. But it still continues! I don't know what sort of malvertisements your team is offering, but I truly do not appreciate this constant harassment .
(If you need more details as to what I have been doing is I was on Reddit and used this search function (didn't help me, by the way) and then I went to YouTube. That was it. So it certainly was not the websites that I have been on.)Developer response
posted 5 years agoI'm sorry you're seeing this issue. I don't believe that this is because of my extension. The source code is open source, and you can read through it if you have doubts.
https://github.com/brandon1024/find - Rated 5 out of 5by Peter Lyons Kehl, 5 years agoHow good:
- Practical: Since Find+ is in the toolbar, it saves you from moving the mouse much (as we have the mouse near the tabs more often).
- It doesn't eat into the page space as much as classic Firefox search.
- You can save the searches. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14766986, 6 years agoWas looking for a way to use regex searching in FF. Does not seem to work at all. Opened a source code view and tried my regex. Nothing. Tried a simple search for href (there were plenty on the page!) Nothing. Not working at all, uninstall.

posted 6 years agoIt isn't possible to use a browser extension in a page's source like that. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 10400991, 6 years agoPlease add focus to search panel by call. Also it would be great to start find+ as default search.
- Rated 4 out of 5by john, 6 years agoUsed it a couple of times so far. Does what you expect, type the regex and it highlights the matches on the page, pressing Enter repeatedly jumps to each successive match.
It would be nice after pressing Ctrl-Shift-F to have focus go to the search box. Like that Ctrl-Shift-F is a toggle which returns focus to where you were.
Love being able to use regular expressions in on page searches. Needs a few more usability things as mentioned in this and other review to get 5 stars (at least from me). Good job. Thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14376961, 6 years agoPerfect! I had this extension on Chrome. I like the Ctrl+Shift+F shortcut.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13801018, 6 years agoSimple, easy to use, and works out of the box. The only thing still missing is a hotkey/shortcut (but maybe I'm not looking hard enough).
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14048243, 7 years agoFinally a find in page with RegEx support for Quantum...
It's stable and very fast, so all thumbs up!
My only small complaint is that the search field is much too small. Would it be possible to allow to define the box size or adapt it to the contents?
Keep up the good work! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13667543, 7 years agoSeveral times a day for years I have used Firefox's feature that lets you start typing something to immediately jump to the first occurrence of that thing on the page. I found it extremely useful and it didn't even require pressing Ctrl-F first. In March Firefox changed that feature to only search for whole words, which is much less useful to me. This find+ add-on does exactly what I need. Now I can just start typing and jump to the item on the page without having to press Ctrl-F and without having to type entire words. Thank you!
- Rated 3 out of 5by -, 7 years agonot great yet, no kbd shortcuts, no focus on edit box when triggered, no scrollbar highlight, no search text persistence.. ff integrated search much better.

The extension can read the content of any web page you visit as well as data you enter into those web pages, such as usernames and passwords. - Rated 4 out of 5by Quantum Debacle, 7 years agoPlease keep in mind this addon wont work rightaway, on your existing windows, when installed. Either restart the browser, open a new window or close and reopen your existing windows.
That tricked me to believe it didn't work at all.
I'm also missing a hotkey.
(2017-02-22, v1.4.0, Linux Mint system) - Rated 5 out of 5by sherlock43, 7 years agoThank you so much for this extension. Neither FF 57 or Quantum will load pages on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit PC. The Find and Find Toolbar Tweaks' extension won't go to the toolbar. You, dear Brandon, have saved me much hair pulling. Great extension. Again, Kudos to you.
- Rated 5 out of 5by chayes, 7 years agoTerrific addon for Firefox 57+. I was looking for a powerful upgrade to the Firefox Find Bar , and this is it! It finds and highlights multiple text terms and allows a step-through key press for each term. I contacted the dev with a couple of questions and the response was quick and helpful. It's easy to use and with built-in RegEx is as precise as you need to be.
