A find and replace bar for Google Chrome

FindR
Description from store

FindR is a handy extension that does exactly what the name implies: it finds and replaces words, allowing you to completely change the text of any website. This is great for pranking and trolling and just having fun with funny edits on pages. On a more practical note, it also has an input field option that allows you to easily find and replace all the text in input fields (such as forms, etc.)

NOTE: After installation or updates, refresh any previously opened pages to make the extension work.

Usage:
* As you type a search term, it finds matches on the page. You can replace by typing text in the replace box and either clicking the arrows (replace one by one) or "Replace All"
* NEW! An options page that allows users to save find/replace pairs that automatically apply to any new tab.

Features:
* Case-sensitive search
* Full Word search
* Regular Expression support for searching
* Input Fields allows users to replace text within input fields (note: this only allows "Replace All" - it doesn't highlight matches).
* NEW! Automatic find/replace background functionality

Shortcut to Open:
* Windows/Linux/ChromeOS: Ctrl+Shift+F
* OSX: Ctrl+Shift+K

Shortcut to Replace All:
* Ctrl+Shift+A

Worked! Big time saver ... thank you so much :)

Pablo Savigne 2023-04-26

Doesn't work for inputs, always resetting the values after save.

Reinis Bērziņš 2022-12-28

It didn't work on Facebook photo descriptions input textboxes, in Google Sheets and even on this Webstore reviews input box. It didn't find even a single letter. I tried with both checked and unchecked "Input fields" flag. I refreshed tabs after I installed this extension.

Oleg Loewen 2022-08-11

sehr praktisches Tool

Luis Espinal 2022-07-08

FINALLY!!!!! a find/replace extension that works... the option for "Input Fields" checkbox did it for me... other plugins don't offer these advanced options for free... please keep them there... only reason why this plugin worked. Thank you.

I searched for many extensions in the Chrome Web Store but I couldn't find the perfect extension like this so you can use this extension without any hesitation.

My Improvment Trip 2022-03-07

This is only Extension that work on YouTube, but don't work on chrome web store itself ,like i want relapse web with sky on chrome web store but didnt work.5 Star because it will be solved soon. I also use it as safeword relapse all badwords on web with good word or safe word. Working excellent.

Elfiel Spectra 2022-02-01

its good, but how to make it permanent? everytime i refresh the page, the word return to normal

Squalle Squ 2021-10-22

Didn't work for me

James Glover 2021-09-13

Great extension and has all the features whereas others don't, it highlights replacements, can replace one at a time or all of them, and includes regex. Must-have!

Russell Dempsey 2021-02-13

Didn't work

Sergey Gaiduk 2020-11-30

It doesn't work, sorry(

Сам Собой 2020-04-08

Не работает

Glenn Robinson 2020-02-21

Excellent tool, plugs the gaps left by the simple built find dialog. Was tearing out my hair (haven't got much to spare either!) wondering why is wasn't working until I saw the tip about refreshing the web-page to enable searching. Cool!

Anonymous 2020-01-28

Hi, great extension but apprently it only changes visible text, not the value behind it. Basically i do data entry that requires me to click a save button after doing changes, and your extension only works if i pass again behind it to change a little something in the text field. Don't hesitate to shoot me an email if you want more details. I think it's the same issue as the person talking about tag stuff in html underneath.

Georg Baum 2020-01-27

Serves well as workaround for the search & replace feature Atlassian removed from Confluence editor in 2019, i.e. you edit the page, trigger FindR to replace what you wanna replace, save the page. 4 and not 5 stars because I can either replace all occurrences nor none, but despite the UI suggests it shall be possible, I cannot jump from search hit to search hit and choose to replace or omit a single hit.

Nick 390 2020-01-21

I can't Find and replace number

Gallerian Marlon 2020-01-15

Exactly what I wanted. Great work.

Pranjal Gupta 2019-12-23

Amazing extension. MIT needs to accept the author asap.

Rahul Jadhav 2019-11-30

Excellent addon for Chrome. Chrome does not have case-insensitive, regex based search. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks

Gersivan Oliveira 2019-07-07

Bem útil pra busca e correção de palavras, com opções avançadas.

vlād 2019-03-22

Cool idea but doesn't work. I'm developing my own that will allow one to search / replace any visible text (or selected one).

Kian Larb Daniel Wai 2019-03-20

Totally not work

A • 2018-12-20

Great extension! I was wondering if theres a way to keep the extension from closing once you tap in the browser. I'm looking for a find exact text option that will allow me to find each instance of this text on the page but allow me to keep being able to click them as I record the mouse clicks

LK 2018-11-08

I find this excellent for batch editing metadata in a digital repository. Great extension.

Tetryon 2018-03-18

It worked for visible text, but I could not change the HTML on tag stuff on the fly.

Finn Aerix 2018-03-14

I used it for replacing ß to ss, becuase I am a Swiss person and in Swiss we use ss instead of ß.

buz adam 2018-03-13

thank you very much very good

r w 2018-02-28

Not working. Hope it could work.

Kyle Flaherty 2018-02-18

Awesome

Daniel Valentine 2018-02-09

It doesn't work with Airtable, was hoping it would. I need to access spaces from a spreadsheet

Chris Dahms 2017-11-25

Greatest extension ever! To the author, seriously, you should drop out of school and go to work for Google, I have been waiting for this functionality in Chrome for many years, finally found out about this extension just now via a Quora post.

ub carpet 2017-09-29

Thank you, Works great.

Pavel K. 2017-08-28

doesn't work at all

Vyacheslav Sh 2017-04-18

Not work On page with multiple text forms can`t find and replace nothing.

Javier Peinado 2017-03-15

En los inputs donde lo utilizo funciona, pero es mejorable: el texto se reemplaza (se borra) mientras lo escribes, en lugar de seleccionarse. Luego al escribir en el segundo campo y pulsar el botón de Reemplazar, queda todo bien.

Anonymous 2017-02-19

Not work

Elizabeth Henning 2017-02-02

Works fine after I closed and reopened Chrome. Nice job.

Anonymous 2017-01-25

I can't get it to find anything!

K // Tiffany Flowers 2017-01-22

I think this might be the best one I've found, but I'm not sure if works well enough for it really be as helpful as I'd like. I do a lot of data entry type work and the fact that tab doesn't get me from find to replace and the lack of keyboard command for replace all slows down the process enough, that I'm really not sure it'd help my process at all.

David Zheng 2017-01-22

exactly what I'm looking for!

Yasin Ahmed 2017-01-18

Its Very Helpful Loved It

Celestra Erit Ultima 2016-11-01

Since the first run that did not replace a single occurrence of the entered word, the "Replace" button is grayed out. Useless fakeware. Uninstalling.

TanfolyamOKJ. hu 2016-10-20

Hibátlan :)

Warmuser 2016-09-23

Works, but not for entire words. You can replace only letters.. Disappointing for me.
