Regular expressions in "Find in page"

Regex checkbox in "Find In Page" tool.

It would be cool for power users to be able to search text patterns instead of exact matches.

It can be limited to EcmaScript implementation and have a warning tooltip about performance, but I think power users will be glad to see that they can search specific patterns on some pages (some codes with variable characters, multiple variations of phrases, different wordings, etc).

Created an account just to vote on this.  I'd like to be able to search across all tabs and be able to use regex.  If I want to search for the words "apple" or "orange" on several tabs it would be nice!

I'm not a web developer but it could also be extremely useful in Web Developer Tools.

💯 I can't express how often I crave for regex capabilities in the page search box.

Can we PLEASE make this happen??? 🙏

Would love this. There's has been enough times where I needed to use an "or" operation that I found the search functionality frustratingly.. primitive.

Like the idea in this comment, it feels similar to what IntelliJ does

Wounld be great to have some less primitive search box in firefox.

Amen

Any updates on this feature?

While I absolutely see the value of built-in regex support and would love to have it, I would agree that it should be an opt-in feature, disabled by default. Regex is a powerful tool for developers, but for other users, it might introduce unnecessary complexity or visual noise in the UI. That said, this implementation looks great to me—excited to see it in action!
