Chrome Regex Search

An extension for Regex Search in lieu of Chrome's CTRL+F.


Instead of writing a program to download a web page to find regex matches, use this simple extension to highlight regex matches on the web page dynamically as you type.

Offers customizable highlighting, case-insensitive and instantaneous search in the extension options.

Also, offers a search history that can be configured to the max number of records.

Note that textarea and input elements will not be highlighted as they cannot be styled by CSS3 natively.
