A find-in-page extension for Google Chrome with support for regular expressions.

Image from store find+ | Regex Find-in-Page Tool
Description from store {find+} is a powerful Find-in-Page extension for Google Chrome allowing you to search a web page or document by regular expression. It has been designed to look and behave much like the native CTRL-F tool, but extended with various useful features. With {find+}, you can match any legal JavaScript regular expression against text in the page, use find-and-replace to replace text in the page, copy occurrences of a regex to your clipboard, store frequently used expressions, and configure the extension the way you like. As a software developer, looking through lengthy stack traces, continuous integration build history, or large text files is something we do very regularly. The Chrome Find-in-Page tool works well in most cases, but offers very little when looking for very specific (or very general) keywords. A few notes: - This tool was designed and built for developers. If you're not familiar with using regular expressions, this tool is not for you. - This tool does not support dynamic pages. The purpose of this tool is to search for patterns in structured text, not in pages like Google Sheets or similar sites. - This tool will struggle with significantly large pages. In these cases, using another tool might be more appropriate.

  • (2023-10-27) xingyu zhang: 同类之中最好用的. 请问是否可以添加一个功能 每次重新打开的时候都执行上次搜索的正则(即使是在不同的网页).
  • (2023-10-16) Andrew Davis: This is excellent, works well, nice interface. IMO, case sensitivity should be exposed as a toggle, not hidden in the options. And I wish the search box was a bit taller, at least as tall as the bookmarks bar. But these are small issues, and personal preference. Overall, excellent functionality.
  • (2023-10-11) tu tu: opengork cannot be searched.Like this website http://androidxref.com/kernel_3.18/xref/drivers/mmc/core/sdio.c
  • (2023-09-28) Filip Shulevski: Works like a charm
  • (2023-08-02) Trọng Nguyễn: it finds and matches Vietnamese characters better than default Chrome's Find
  • (2023-07-29) Вадим Базуев: The best one checked!
  • (2023-06-28) Sean: Simple and gets the job done.
  • (2023-06-27) Meo Meowl: great, helpul
  • (2023-06-22) Mike Honey: Thanks Brandon for a very useful tool. It has been working reliably for me and saves me a lot of time. If I can make a suggestion, your extension's blurb should highlight that simplest use case of: find|any|of|these|words|on|a|page Regex itself is extremely daunting, but almost anyone can quickly grasp and use that example.
  • (2023-05-21) Marco: Great extension! In 2023 I'd add: - highlights' position markers on the right browser scrollbar (like the Chrome default) - an optional border color (with its resizable thickness) for highlight that'd sorround the selection's highlight color
  • (2023-05-07) SOLAiRE of Astora: Working great so far! I'm using it in MS Edge - seems like most of the reviewers are using Chrome, so I can confirm it's doing its job. Being a Firefox user in a previous life, this is the single largest missing feature from Chrome/Edge and I became frustrated enough to search for an extension. Thanks for filling the gap!
  • (2023-04-19) Сергій Варі: Great, we have options, for example for Match Case
  • (2023-02-26) Wrench Type: it hide when you scroll
  • (2022-11-08) Niu Bryan: 添加此应用会,会给造成Chrome自动向Mac系统设置中添加登录项,删除后还会再自动添加。
  • (2022-11-06) Bokeh13: Very useful extension for finding stuff that can't be found with just a simple search (like finding low prices on retail sites). One thing that could be improved is that when searching, it scrolls the display to show the search result at the top of the screen. Often, webpages have a fixed headers that cover the search result; so I need to scroll up a few lines to see it. Would have preferred to have the search result show up in the center of the screen.
  • (2022-09-17) Kejia-Timo Ji: I don't know why, when I ctrl+shift+f it to search some name in opengrok to check the code, it searched slowly, and if I ctrl_shift+f again, there is possible to crash the whole chrome browser.
  • (2022-09-14) Timon JK: It seems that you can't jump in search results
  • (2022-06-30) Cecil Macgregor: Doesn't work. Every time I entered text in the box, it wouldn't react or find anything.
  • (2022-04-18) Kyle Miller: Nice, but I need it to be able to exclude certain phrases.
  • (2022-02-04) Madhawa Tharidu: works, great
  • (2021-11-30) Qasem Niksefat: It's great for marking and grading papers :))
  • (2021-09-22) Sergey Kovalev: Работает! Правда иногда заметна задержка (по сравнению с обычным поиском). Может быть нужно выполнять поиск не сразу после изменения строки поиска, а с небольшой задержкой или вообще сделать кнопку "Найти"? Thank you for great extension! Could you add a delay for live-search or even a button "Search" because sometimes I feel delay after every char input in search string.
  • (2021-09-21) N River: EDIT: One annoying thing that happens is you have to open the extension and then close it and then open it again for it to work. EDIT 2: The issue above has been fixed. 5 stars. This extension works perfectly and is just great. The customization is great. The documentation is great. The key bindings are great. Everything just works. I'm using this on Microsoft Edge and it works just as well as on Google Chrome. No other extension that I've tried can compare.
  • (2021-09-15) Martin Lichtblau: Great. Plus omnibox support. Sourcecode maintained.
  • (2021-07-20) Viktor K: Does not search in inputs and textarea
  • (2021-07-06) David: Good, but how to search within PDF?
  • (2021-05-26) Henry Zhang: works great. but it doesn't support iframe, wish it can support search in iframes
  • (2021-05-13) Mithun C M: Great extension. The extension lets me access it through the keyboard shortcut. Seems to work on pages I access.
  • (2021-04-17) Allen: Thanks so much for writing this! There's a bug in Chrome browser in which the CTRL+F command reports finding text but will neither highlight it nor show it. It's allegedly been fixed but not in my Chrome browser -- I use Linux so that may have something to do with it. Anyway, your app solves that problem! Great job!
  • (2021-04-08) DjSokY: Does not do anything...
  • (2021-03-12) Sybrand E. Smit: Exactly what I needed. Was looking for a way to find '3-digit' numbers on websites. I tried Number Search initially, but it wouldn't do anything when I clicked on it. The guy who made the program seems very sincere in his response to user feedback, so think one of Chrome's update may have caused issues. Regardless, that made me discover "Find+" extension for Chrome. It took me a bit to figure out how to use the program to find digits, for instance I wanted to find all $ mentions between 100 and 999. The method was as follow: The program can be easily opened by pressing Ctrl + Shift + F, as opposed to the normal Ctrl + F, still available. Make sure "Find my Regular Expression" and "Match Case" is enabled in the Find+ settings. Then search for $\d\d\d which will return any 3 digit (100-999) with $ in front. The reason for stipulating the dollar is cause there is often lots of other 3 digit strings such as time and dates and just stuff you don't want. So this worked for me. Also, let's say I want to find any mention of '2 days', '3 days', etc. the search string was for instance: .2 d or .3 d This returned any string that followed the period. The general rules for how to use these strings can be found here: Syntax for Regular Expressions https://support.google.com/a/answer/1371415?hl=en Happy Brandon took the initiative to create this software! Thanks buddy ;)
  • (2021-03-03) David Misc: absolutely terrible, if I write "find" in the address bar in chrome, because I wanted to google something with the word find in it, then it activates the extension and won't let me do the search.
  • (2021-01-07) Benjamin Marquardt: I use this extension for searching scientific papers for keywords. One bug I've encountered is that the saved searches do not function at all when you first open it on a new webpage. It needs to be closed and reopened again to function in this way. Otherwise very useful.
  • (2020-12-17) Yannick le Restif: Don't know why I waited so long to start looking for a replacement for Chrome find in page that is definitely lacking functionalities... I find it awesome so far.
  • (2020-12-16) mostafa: it doesn't support utf-8 characters. for example \w+ does not find any non-english characters. Ex: سلام is a Persian/Arabic word. if possible please add more feathers at least \p{xx} option, so we can use \p{L} instead of \w . also \p{L} will find all utf-8 characters. also for Chinese and other non-English languages it it an essential feature. you can see more details about \p feature in this link: http://www.pcre.org/pcre.txt
  • (2020-10-29) James Skaggs: This regex extension works quite nicely, and I would recommend this one over any others that have tried.
  • (2020-10-22) Erik: Works great; better than other regex tools in 2019/2020. It's more accurate or closer to PCRE, sublime text. The only issue I have is having to retype the regex 2-3x for it to work if you click on the page, or the tool closes. Very annoying. What I normally do is hit the hotkey (ctrl shift F) twice, and my regex is still there; now I hit backspace and remove the last character, and re-insert it. Then it works. TDLR: the program is buggy and only works the first try.
  • (2020-09-21) Chris Reynolds: Works as expected, I can REGEX search which is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
  • (2020-09-10) Brian Murrell: Seems to have performance issues in larger pages. But TBH, I want to most use it in pages with a lot of content, such as log files etc., so is really of limited use to me. Seems to work decently when the page content is smaller.
  • (2020-09-08) S Freer: Not that happy with this on Chrome (84.0.4147.125, 64-bit) on Windows 10 (OS 1803, Build 17134.1246). I find it only allows me to search the first frame of text. I can't search the text within an edit box when I edit a Wiki page, for example. I can search all the edit page's top-layer text, but the contents of the edit box are not searchable. Also in chrome when you click view source, even that text is not searchable, I suppose because it's not a regular webpage? I truly love the search and replace feature though! I've just had a lot of fun "editing" a wiki page to funny spelling errors using regex swaps. It would be Amazing(!) if you could add (capt)uring groups so that we could \1ure the structure of our "find" match and then replace it with something dependent on that captured group (e.g. replace all "(\w+)uring" matches with "(\1)ure"). Thanks for the hard work. It's a wonderful extension regardless of some of the limitations (which some I see you explain are due to iframes and single-source policy).
  • (2020-09-05) Tom Schi: It's a great tool, but it's very annoying that it does not automatically remember the last used regular expressions.
  • (2020-08-22) Wen Tan: 有小瑕疵, 但很不错了!
  • (2020-08-14) Guillermo Asaro: Why does it have to make to chrome run in the background?
  • (2020-06-29) Ilia Sergunin: Not working!
  • (2020-06-28) Liran Barsisa: Has some issues: 1. Can't auto-show options, especially when choosing to hide the options button. 2. Doesn't have "exact word" 3. Wish it had a floating window that auto-positions itself (and prefer being in the center-top/bottom) so that it won't cover the results. 4. Why does it run in the background?
  • (2020-04-08) 邱比特: 查找时不能显示结果的个数,望改进
  • (2020-03-06) Oleksandr Boiko: Nice UI, but too slow
  • (2020-03-03) Youwei Liang: Awesome tool! Very useful and powerful.
  • (2020-02-28) Xinyi Chen: pretty good however it's not available in source code view.SAD!
  • (2020-01-26) William NG: Barely works, highlights randomly, need to reload page constantly to get it to highlight anything. Really not worth anyone's attention.

Latest issues

  • (2020-01-28, v:2.1.1) Jonathan Woodward: Feature Requests
    How easy would it be to modify the code to allow for multiple simultaneous searches? For example, in the search box, enter multiple words separated by spaces or commas or line breaks and each word is highlighted in a different color? That would be a very useful feature. Also, are you able to change the highlight text color in addition to the highlight background color? It would make text stand out more depending on different background colors.
  • (2019-12-24, v:2.1.0) Jason Press (JP): Saved Expressions Disappeared
    Hello and thank you for your very helpful extension! Today (Dec. 23, 2019), I used the find+ extension in the morning without any issue. I then opened it later and all of my "saved expressions" were gone. Instead of the usual list of saved expressions, I just see the message: "No saved expressions found." I didn't use the browser or extension at all over the course of the day and don't know what could have happened that caused all of the saved expressions to get deleted. There were quite a few expressions in there and it would take a lot of work to rebuild them. Can you suggest any way to recover the saved expressions?
  • (2019-10-04, v:2.0.2) Jeffrey Riaboy: Runs in background
    Why does this extension run in the background when not in use?
  • (2019-10-03, v:2.0.2) Matt Holley: Regex bookmark, match lis + highlighting feature request!
    Recently moved to Chrome after using Firefox, and was used to using this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/regexsearch/ I mostly used for the bookmarking feature for a set number of regex, being able to quickly grab a list of matches so I didn't have to go and copy past from the page and also the highlighting was a great addition. Any chance of implementing these kind of features?
  • (2019-07-01, v:2.0.2) MingHong Yao (Antecer): Can't use on view-source
    I want use it find html code!
  • (2019-06-09, v:2.0.2) Chris Leonard: A couple quick questions
    Hi Brandon! I'm glad you have built this extension. I've always wondered why browsers don't have a built in "advanced" search mode where regex was available. So thank you for filling this gap! Here are my questions: - is it possible to increase the font size in the search box without changing the overall Windows magnification? - is it possible to turn on "incremental" search so that the plugin shows what matches as you type? I'm using the dev branch of Edge/Chromium, if that matters. Thanks again for this extension.
  • (2019-05-01, v:2.0.2) Lior Derei: regardin regex match operation
    does ?= operator works? in example :(?=something)(?=something else)
  • (2019-04-16, v:2.0.2) Michael Reaves: Find+ not remembering search term from previous page
    Hi, For a while I could perform a search on a page with Find+, then navigate to another page and click the Orange Icon (Find+ extension) and the same search would automatically come up. Now, I have to click to show blank search, click again to close extension, then click a third time to show previous search. (Or, utilize saved search.) Any way I can get Find+ to show the same search I used last time until I change it?
  • (2019-04-07, v:2.0.2) John Horner: Find text in form fields
    Having tested, it appears we can't search the content of form fields, (input or textarea elements). That was a feature I was particularly hoping for. Any chance you could add this feature? Or am I doing it wrong and this should already be possible?
  • (2019-03-18, v:2.0.1) Michael Weiner: Search form does not gain focus on first use in a page
    Search form does not gain focus on first use in a page. Mike
  • (2019-03-12, v:2.0.1) Simone Denaro: Info
    can I use it to chain the search for 2 words in a page? eg: "i7" + "w10pro" what is the syntax? thanks, Simone.
  • (2019-03-11, v:2.0.1) Mik Max: hotkey doesn't focus search bar
    Quite often (i.e. lately, seems to be almost every time), when I hit Ctrl+Shift+F to activate the find+ extension's search UI, the UI appears, but the cursor isn't focused/active in the text entry box. I'm not sure what is causing this, but it seems to happen consistently the first time I use the shortcut after opening a page in a new tab. Other than that, I love this extension! It is really making finding things in long webpages so much easier! And I just discovered the other features available via shortcuts - AMAZING! Being able to live edit any text in a webpage is a great way of being able to further refine potential matches. Now if I could just get it to work within frames in SharePoint, it'd be pure gold. :) Thanks!
