RegEx Support for "Find in Page"
-
@solidsnake Why? Currently has 132 votes which puts in the top 20 of all requests. Vivaldi should cater to the power user.
-
@browseruser I really don't know. All top voted requests are from five years ago, that is since the sub-forum for requests was open.
That brings the question what is the point of the request topics and votes if they are not taken into account by the Vivaldi team.
-
FYI, In internal bug tracker exists a feature request, which is still open and not closed as Will not Do.

Hi, I really would make use of regexes in find in page daily. Is this definitely maked as Will not do?
Is there anywhere that I can vote too?
-
@SilverGreen93 It is not discarded (yet), but no progress noticed.
Press like on the first post. Although it seems that voting doesn't make any difference to the team.

Try the extension Chrome Regex Search:

That is a beauty. Thanks much!

While exploring extensions, I found Mark My Search to be much better than other RegEx extensions.
However, the limitation of assigning custom shortcuts to the extension and Vivaldi's unreliability in working with shortcuts to extensions hinder a smooth workflow.
The built-in feature overcomes all these shortcomings.

They're not mutually exclusive. I'd rather have it built in as well, but until then, that extension is excellent.

It is impossible to obtain "excellence" in 100% of the components of a browser without "helping" with other extensions that have reached excellence, because they are dedicated only to that.
Tell me just one of the features that are included in browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Brave, Edge, etc.) that are better implemented than the best extension that does the same thing.
Specialization leads to excellence.

Quality extensions may have more features and options, but what sets built-in capabilities apart is their superior integration with the program itself, reliability, and consistency.
Extensions can break after a browser update or their development can stop due to various reasons, which is not the case with built-in features.
For instance, mouse gestures could be an example of a functionality that works better as a built-in feature than as an extension. Searching could be another.
