- Rated 2 out of 5од Seth Falco, пред 3 годиниThis certainly works, but unfortunately it appears to have a lot of performance issues. Even when not in use it can cause pages to stop responding.
It also doesn't provide any feedback when an invalid pattern is used etc. - Rated 2 out of 5од Firefox user 16107757, пред 4 годиниDisappointing. Alternation with | doesn't work. Th extension's popup dialog hides half the page with useless controls when all I want is a functioning regex search.
- Rated 2 out of 5од Firefox user 12417233, пред 5 годиниThe idea is good, a much needed extension after Mozilla killed all regex addons, but it doesn't work.
On my updated waterfox, (foo|bar) only worked once, but it only matched "foo" - Rated 2 out of 5од Firefox user 7046564, пред 6 годиниThe add-on doesn't fully work, and for as far as it does, is not very practical.
- I type in a regex and do 'search' but it doesn't always show the results it should. Oftenly it shows nothing in the result box, sometimes just one result where there are many more.
- The highlight function does find all matches. However, it would be nice if the page could jump to the first/next result, but that's probably what the search button is supposed to do.
- When using the highlight function without the 'global' flag, a result is that is not the first one may be highlighted, rather a random(?) one.
- It seems that this addon looks for matches in the html source code rather than the actual page. Therefore it also seems to match classnames, image paths etc. This is not great and the highlight function therefore has matches that can't be seen on the page!
It's a nice add-on, but could use some improvement! - Rated 2 out of 5од MikZ, пред 6 годиниThis extension desperately needs use instructions. I haven't worked out how to get it to highlight text in a webpage that matches a regular expression, which is what I want, and what I thought the description said it would do.
There's no 'use RegEx' option when I type Ctrl+F, and when I click 'Preferences' on this extension, there are no options, and nothing that says what to type to make it work. I did eventually notice the 'Regex Search' button in the toolbar, but clicking that opened a confusing dialogue box, and when I typed a very simple JavaScript-style regex, it didn't seem to find anything on the page I'm on.
Perhaps I'm missing the point of this extension, but either it doesn't do what I want, or the UI is terrible. Sorry.Одговор на развивачот
posted пред 6 годиниI think the screenshots shows how to use the plugin, it is not available in ctrl+f search bar, it has its own interface - Rated 2 out of 5од Firefox user 13497807, пред 6 години
- Rated 2 out of 5од evets90, пред 6 годиниCouldn't wrap my head around how it works. The interface is confusing. I just want a way to CTRL + F a page and highlight results using regex. I couldn't figure out how to do it with this addon.
- Rated 2 out of 5од ak2766, пред 7 годиниI 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!)Одговор на развивачот
posted пред 7 годиниSorry 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
