Status: Unconfirmed Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Bug Pri-2 OS-All Area-Misc New issue 7774 by douglas.kramer: "Find in page" should be more powerful -- should find terms in same *paragraph*, and allow logical OR http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=7774
Chrome Version : 1.0 This is a feature request. Want smarter "Find in page" than just string matching. People often are searching for a sentence or paragraph that contains an idea they have in their head, for which they do not know a priori the exact string they're looking for. In Google tradition, Chrome "Find in page" should be the most powerful of all browsers. In the same way that Google Web Search find matches of all terms anywhere in a document and takes you to that document, "Find in page" should find matches of all terms anywhere in a *paragraph* and take you to the first such paragraph. Thus: 1) Entering: foo would highlight all occurrences of foo and jump to the first such occurrence. 2) Entering: foo bar would highlight all occurrences of foo and bar that appear in the same paragraph and jump to the first such occurrence. (It would either not highlight, or would highlight in a lighter color, occurrences of foo and bar that do not appear in the same paragraph.) 3) Entering: "foo bar" would highlight all occurrences of the string "foo bar" and jump to the first such occurrence. 4) Entering: foo OR bar would highlight all occurrences of foo and bar throughout the document and jump to the first such occurrence. Likewise, combinations of the above would be allowed. For example of paragraph search: What steps will reproduce the new feature? 1. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Bill_of_Rights 2. Choose "Find in Page" 3. Type: keep arms 4. Hit Enter 5. Chrome should highlight "keep" and "arms" in the three paragraphs that contain "keep and bear arms" and jump to the first occurrence. For example of logical OR search: What steps will reproduce the new feature? 1. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Bill_of_Rights 2. Choose "Find in Page" 3. Type: speech OR arms 4. Hit Enter 5. Chrome should highlight "speech" and "arms" in all places throughout the document and jump to the first occurrence. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
