cntrl-f search on webpage with cr/lf character

mathijs.groen

I have a text on a webpage on 2 lines, which are separated by (invisible) instruction to go to the next line (a so-called "cr/lf").

I copy this text (including the cr/lf) from the web page to the clipboard. I activate the search function with "control-f", and I paste this text in the search box, then Firefox finds 0 matches.

for example:

line1 line2

Between line1 and line2 is a CRLF.

So, in above example, on the clipboard there is "line1CRLFline2"

I have the following questions:

1. Is there a way to overcome this? To find correct search result? (1 match) 2. Is there a plugin/extension available that can handle the above scenario?

Keazen oplossing

The built-in Find in page feature doesn't search across paragraph breaks.

I tested the Regex Search extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/regexsearch/), which can find across a paragraph break, but it wasn't able to highlight across the boundary (screenshot attached).

I don't know whether any other extensions that support regular expression (RegEx) searching would be useful.
