find+ | Regex Find-in-Page Tool

The functionality is good. But it bothers me that the extension requires the right to read my browsing history. I have used a similar extension (Chrome Regex Search 1.0.8) for several years before installing this one today, and it does not require any such permission. This seems to imply - I could be wrong, of course - that this extension wants to spy on users. I would rate it with 4 or 5 stars otherwise, but not like this.

Doesn't work. Every time I entered text in the box, it wouldn't react or find anything.

Does not do anything...

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.

Barely works, highlights randomly, need to reload page constantly to get it to highlight anything. Really not worth anyone's attention.

This doesn't seem to work for framed content, at least not for me. I even tried using the video example shown on github using https://github.com/brandon1024/find/blob/develop/background/background.js. Would not work in the code frame. See screeshot here: https://postimg.cc/14Y35jKh

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.

Does not search in inputs and textarea

It's a great tool, but it's very annoying that it does not automatically remember the last used regular expressions.

Nice UI, but too slow

Nice integration with the address bar ("Omnibar"), but doesn't work with dynamic HTML pages.

Worked just fine before... but now needs to run perpetually in the background for some reason. Why does this need to be an background app?

My favourite lovely app, hard used everyday app became a garbage... Earlier builds gives me possibility of text search on any tab, where this app remember searched text and dont needed each time retype it in new tab browser. Now this app dont remember searched text and so no serious difference now with easy CTRL+F. Also no history pop up in field, no generally history at all. Ok, i see dont needed history button (usability needs pop up in field, ok ?) , but it dont remember text. Now this app in garbage category, im sad

I really wanted to like this extension, but unfortunately when trying to search through a specific web page, it would just keep crashing the tab. I'm trying to search through this web page: https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/v2.2/pci.ids. I don't know if the extension just can't handle it, but it just doesn't work. It works on other web pages, just not this specific one I know of. It's weird because "Chrome Regex Search" works just fine on it. I would love to hear what you have to say and if you would be able to fix this bug. Thanks.

opengork cannot be searched.Like this website http://androidxref.com/kernel_3.18/xref/drivers/mmc/core/sdio.c

it hide when you scroll

It seems that you can't jump in search results

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

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.

Why does it have to make to chrome run in the background?

Not working!

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?

searches ok but on page refresh the expression is lost, i cannot believe a developer wold do such a mistake.

I want to love this extension, but its startup delay is just too slow. On a page with lots of text like a forum thread or a reddit comments page, there can be a 1-3 second delay (or sometimes even more!) between pressing the hotkey and actually being able to start searching. I tried it out on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compositions_by_Franz_Schubert (the current longest page on wikipedia), and timed out a whopping 7.5 seconds between hitting the hotkey and having text + cursor appear in the search box. By comparison, the "Chrome Regex Search" extension is alive and kicking as soon as I hit the key, with no noticeable delay. Find+ gets some points in this comparison though: its competitor fails to find matches that cross multiple html elements, like sentences with a link in the middle, but Find+ handles those perfectly. I really do WANT to use Find+, but the painfully slow delays are just too offputting.
