Hi, I'm wondering is there a way to find exact phrase on a page. For example if i have hundreds of word 'Share' on a page and just a few words "Sha" I would like to find only that word "Sha" but when I type in the find bar it always goes to the word "Share" with only first 3 letters highlighted and I need to click next so many times until it goes to the word I need.

If that word is followed by a space then add a space to the search term: "Sha "

That is exactly the issue. The word is not followed by the space. Is there any extension that might can help ?

Not that I know of. There used to be some extensions that allow regular expressions, but I can't any now.

What is following those letters?

There are no characters that follows that word. Clicking the 'next' button so many times is really annoying on huge pages :(

This will be a lame suggestion, but anyhow: cut it all and paste it into Notepad (or better Notepad++) , so that you can do a regular expression search, for instance for - in the above case - sha[!r].

If you ask for Find all in Notepad++, you will get all occurences neatly listed, so you can easily (or at least easier) browse through the original page.

Thanks for suggestion, I was thinking about that, but that woudn't help much. Look at at these two photos: http://i.imgur.com/2vluR.jpg http://i.imgur.com/WkK57.jpg

Imagine how many times I had to click 'next' in find bar to get to the word 'Sha'. There must be a hundreds of words that contain 'sha' in em but it's not the exact word 'Sha'. Searching for it was really painfull. If anyone knows extension that can help (if there is any) please enlighten me!
