- Rated 2 out of 5by Seth Falco, 4 years agoThis certainly works, but unfortunately it appears to have a lot of performance issues. Even when not in use it can cause pages to stop responding.
It also doesn't provide any feedback when an invalid pattern is used etc. - Rated 4 out of 5by Elvin Aslanov, 4 years agoplease add the next/previous match occurence as with normal ctrl+f, it is very much missing

posted 4 years agoThank you for your review, I would love to add that feature, But I don't know how to, if anyone can help it is an open source project on github Mohd-PH/RegexSearch - Rated 5 out of 5by 黒崎十兵衞 • (Jubei Kurosaki), 4 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16107757, 4 years agoDisappointing. Alternation with | doesn't work. Th extension's popup dialog hides half the page with useless controls when all I want is a functioning regex search.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Reino, 5 years agoThis really doesn't work very well even though it give the illusion it is working correctly.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Michal Palczewski, 5 years ago5 stars would be if the next time I hit command-F I could type in a regex and it would work as expected.
Instead you have to click on the extension, type in a regular expression. Hit enter. Oh wait that does nothing, you have to hit highlight. and then it doesn't scroll or let you do much with it just highlights.
You hit enter again it goes to the next one, nope.
And what the hell is save profile do, or what is it even for. Why is there some esoteric advanced functionality when the basics fail. - Rated 4 out of 5by STC, 5 years agoFantastic! The only thing I could not figure out was how to jump to the next match in the actual webpage with my keyboard. Is it even possible?
- Rated 5 out of 5by GoodCat, 5 years agoWorks great for me. Very thanks. The only wish is to add a hotkey or a separate button on the browser panel just for highlighting (to quickly highlight after reloading content on the page).
To other reviewers: Чтобы искать по всей странице достаточно поставить галку "Global" -_\ - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15284301, 5 years agoНужен поиск по всей странице, это поделие не справляется с задачей, на странице с документацией (JavaDoc) ищет только в меню слева, сам текс документации - "не видит".
- Rated 1 out of 5by Max Yudin, 5 years agoRegexes works with unexpected results, highlighting doesn't work, Reset button is dominant (UI is bad).
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14766986, 6 years agoWas looking for a way to teach FF regex searching. This add-on does not seem to have any functionality? I click the icon and expect it to search on the open tab. Nothing. No idea what else it is supposed to do?
- Rated 3 out of 5by staafl, 6 years agoAbility to scroll between matches as in the regular Firefox search would make this extension much more useful. Right now trying to find something on a long page is really difficult.
- Rated 5 out of 5by boardtc, 6 years agoThis worked first time for me, excellent, the interface needs some more polish to be more user friendly, but I do suggest to stick with it.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12417233, 6 years agoThe idea is good, a much needed extension after Mozilla killed all regex addons, but it doesn't work.
On my updated waterfox, (foo|bar) only worked once, but it only matched "foo" - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14200909, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by fenwar, 6 years agoAn invaluable extension for me, the developer is a hero :)
Note that you can also use Ctrl+Shift+F to open the dialog. Press Enter in the regex box to search, Shift+Enter to highlight all matches. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13507119, 6 years ago
