- Rated 3 out of 5by Yuli, duela 2 urtePretty 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 3 out of 5by staafl, duela 5 urteAbility to scroll between matches as in the regular Firefox search would make this extension much more useful. Right now trying to find something on a long page is really difficult.
- Rated 3 out of 5by flash, duela 6 urteI like the recent Highlight feature that's been available since version 1.0.4 (for some reason only available as a download from the author's GitHub page), but it has one side-effect that has a massive potential of breaking websites. The highlight is not only applied to visible text within tags, but to the whole page ( document.body.innerHTML ). This can break inline JavaScript, link references and all kinds of other things as well if a match is found, which sadly makes it unusable as the multi-word highlighter that I've been looking for.
For other use cases, such as extracting data from the page source, it's a neat extension but I have no such requirements myself.Developer response
posted duela 6 urteFixed the issue in the latest release 1.0.6 , thanks for reviewing - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13561551, duela 7 urteDoes what it promises. Would be great if you could explain the functionality a little bit more. I cant get my head around the template thing.

posted duela 7 urteThank for the review. as for the template you can use $x (x is the number of the group in your regex e.g: $1 $2 ... etc) and $n ( for new line), you can also use \ instead of $ ($x to \x or $n to \n) - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12649868, duela 7 urteThis extension doesn't do a great job at explaining what it is. I was hoping to be able to search for an expression and highlight results on the page, like cmd+F but with regex instead of simple string matching. This extension basically just greps the HTML for your expression and gives the results.
