by ak2766, 7 years agoI too was hoping to see the search terms highlighted in the page. I just installed it so I know I have the latest version. Dev says it highlights on the page but I'm looking at the search it found and looking at the section of the page where I can see the term I searched for - it is not highlighted!
I have to copy the text in the result field then use Firefox's search (ctrl+f) to highlight the search terms found.
Limited usefulness as it currently stands but with Firefox 57, this appears to be the best out there.
UPDATE: I visited the github link you posted in your reply but only saw the XPI file for Windows - will this also work on Linux? (I wonder why there isn't an option to reply to a developer response!)

posted 7 years agoSorry for the inconvenience, it is neither your mistake or mine, I uploaded few updates since I published the add-on but lately the review system removed the updates and reverted to 1.0.0 version because of non-sense reasons. however you can download the latest version on the releases page on github https://github.com/Mohd-PH/RegexSearch/releases

- Rated 3 out of 5by Cyberknight, 7 months agoIt only works in simple Pages, that is, without frames or iframes or any other complex structure.
- Rated 5 out of 5by scheimong, 8 months agoSeems to work. UI is a bit too clunky for my liking, but I only use this once in a while so it's fine.

- Rated 4 out of 5by ravenwolfzero, a year agoHas WAY better performance than the other regex search extensions I've found, especially on large pages!!! I appreciate the built-in regex cheat sheet, too.
Two downsides: It doesn't scroll to the results on the page, and I'd like a way to keep the extension open while interacting with the page. - Rated 1 out of 5by Russhopper, a year agoDoesn't work. I couldn't get it to work at all even with simple searches.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Gunwoo Gim, a year agoIt demands only one small permission, the permission to write data into the clipboard. An excellent example of a powerful app that asks for no security hole.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Yuli, 3 years agoPretty good, but, could you add options to customice the output? For example: add new line between each occurence in the result box, so we can copy one result per line. THANKS!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13623032, 4 years agoWell it works which is really nice but it can freeze the entire browser if you force it too much.
