# **{find+}**

**{find+}** is a powerful _find-in-page_ extension for Chrome and Firefox that
allows you to search for content in a web page or document by regular
expression. It is a feature-rich alternative to the native _find-in-page_ tool
built into your browser.
Some notable features:
- match a regular expression against text in a web page
- quickly search for text using the browser omnibox
- find and replace text in a page
- copy occurrences of a regular expression to your clipboard
- store frequently-used patterns
- adjust colours and search settings
## Getting Started
The **{find+}** extension is available through the Chrome Web Store and through
the Firefox Add-ons Store.
Download the extension here: [find+ | Regex Find-in-Page Tool](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/find%2B/fddffkdncgkkdjobemgbpojjeffmmofb).
Download the extension here: [{find+} – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/brandon1024-find/).
## Keyboard Shortcuts
In Firefox, you can use CTRL+⇧+F to open the
extension popup.
To open the extension popup in Chrome using a keyboard shortcut, you must first
assign a keyboard shortcut to the extension through the Chrome settings. You can
do this by following these steps:
1. Navigate to the `Extensions` settings page in Chrome, or type
`chrome://extensions/` into the navigation bar.
2. In the top left click on the ☰ menu icon, then click `Keyboard shortcuts`.
3. Locate the shortcut settings for find+. Click the input field located to the
right of the label `Activate the extension`.
4. Press the combination of keys you would like to use, and once complete press
`OK`. We recommend using CTRL+⇧+F, since it
shouldn't conflict with any other browser keyboard shortcut mappings.
When the extension popup is open, there are a number of keyboard shortcuts you
can use. These settings cannot be remapped.
| Windows Shortcut | macOS Shortcut | Action |
| :------------------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| ↵ | ↵ | Advance to the next occurrence of the regular expression in the page |
| ⇧+↵ | ⇧+↵ | Return to the previous occurrence of the regular expression in the page|
| CTRL+⇧+↵ | ^+⇧+↵ | Follow the first highlighted link in the current occurrence focus |
| CTRL+ALT+C | ^+⌥+C | Copy to the clipboard the currently highlighted text on the page. |
| CTRL+ALT+A | ^+⌥+A | Copy to the clipboard the all highlighted text on the page. |
| CTRL+ALT+O | ^+⌥+O | Expand or Collapse Options Pane |
| CTRL+ALT+R | ^+⌥+R | Expand or Collapse Replace Text Pane |
| CTRL+ALT+H | ^+⌥+H | Expand or Collapse Saved Expressions Pane |
| CTRL+↵ or ESC | ^+↵ or ESC | Close the extension popup |
## Omnibox Support
In version 1.4.0, we introduced omnibox support! This allows you to highlight
text on a page without even opening the extension. To use this feature, type
`findplus` in your browser's address bar, press ␣ or ⇥,
and then enter a regular expression. Occurrences of the regular expression will
become highlighted on the page as you type.
Pressing `ENTER` will leave the highlights in the page. To remove the
highlights, simply refresh the page. If you don't want to leave the highlights
in the page, just erase the text entered in the address bar.
