I give it a 5 simply because it works! An invaluable tool I am surprised is not built into the browser itself.

hi guys & Rshen! ?? one of the most relevant extensions! (how in the world are there only 30.000 people using such regularily?) - we (Victor) worked on a modern successor with a color markup for our own use:
------- - - - - - ------- - - - - - ------- - - - - - ------- - - - - - ------- - - - - - -------
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/regex/pmihaiejckejbpjdnildimfkpcpnohlo
------- - - - - - ------- - - - - - ------- - - - - - ------- - - - - - ------- - - - - - -------
(please test it. we can add the missing buttons/indicator anytime)

- this is while we already fulfill wishes for 100000s of people since many years @ https://github.com/code4charity/
(this is not commercial. We actually have a principle of avoiding to doing what is done well/open already.
Please check our repo and try to tell what either of us should do next https://github.com/victor-savinov/regex
- Likely the projects should merge rather than walk alone (+the makers could team).

Also, if you read this, consider upvoting my text, so some people read it at, as this extension unfortunately has no updates since years and no old review is more relevant anymore.

Not working on some rendered pages, e.g. jupyter notebook (e.g. github)

Almost there, but not quite...!
I think it works reasonably well, except when contents are loaded in dynamically.
In scenarios where a lot of potential hits are loaded in via XHR (XMLHttpRequest), this extension failed to find the new matches.
This basically breaks the extension for content loaded in on modern sites.
Could you please update it so any actual search takes the actual state of the DOM into account?
Thank you for everything so far
