A find and replace bar for Google Chrome
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

- Doesn't work for inputs, always resetting the values after save.
- Reinis Bērziņš
- 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
- sehr praktisches Tool
- Luis Espinal
- 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.

- Elfiel Spectra

- Squalle Squ
- Didn't work for me
- James Glover
- 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
- Didn't work

- 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!

- 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
- 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.

- I can't Find and replace number
- Gallerian Marlon
- Exactly what I wanted. Great work.
- Pranjal Gupta
- Amazing extension. MIT needs to accept the author asap.
- Rahul Jadhav
- Excellent addon for Chrome. Chrome does not have case-insensitive, regex based search. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks
- Gersivan Oliveira
- Bem útil pra busca e correção de palavras, com opções avançadas.
- vlād
- 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
- Totally not work

- 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

- I find this excellent for batch editing metadata in a digital repository. Great extension.
- Tetryon
- It worked for visible text, but I could not change the HTML on tag stuff on the fly.
- Finn Aerix
- 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
- thank you very much very good

- Not working. Hope it could work.
- Kyle Flaherty
- Awesome
- Daniel Valentine
- It doesn't work with Airtable, was hoping it would. I need to access spaces from a spreadsheet
- Chris Dahms
- 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.

- Thank you, Works great.
- Pavel K.
- doesn't work at all
- Vyacheslav Sh
- Not work On page with multiple text forms can`t find and replace nothing.
- Javier Peinado
- 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.

- Not work

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

- I can't get it to find anything!
- K // Tiffany Flowers
- 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
- exactly what I'm looking for!

- Its Very Helpful Loved It

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

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