Wildcard for Chrome search?

14,359

Chrome's "Find in page" search function does not support wildcards.

You can install the highlight regexp bookmarklet from Squarefree, which will allow you to search for JavaScript regexps: P.{4}L or \bP.{4}L\b (the latter also matches word boundaries).

    I want to search for a word on a page. I know the first letter is a P the last letter is a L and there are 4 letters in-between them.

    How can I search for this word?

      I'm voting to reopen because the linked duplicate has been deleted. To be clear: it was deleted after being considered off-topic, but the current question does not explicitly ask for software recommendations, so IMO it should stay. It shouldn't be marked as "duplicate" of a deleted question though.
