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 and instantaneous search in the extension options.

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