Firefox find function

Thursday, 8 May 2008

I found this quite interesting, calling the find function in Firefox without parameters displays a dialog box. Calling it multiple times displays loads of find windows 🙂

for(i=0;i<100;i++) {
 find();
}

    Good Evening,
    Is it possible to insert an ambiguous character in firefox search? For example, I want to find the letters “TTC” followed by any four letters, followed by “GAA” in a webpage result (if you’re curious, I’m searching gene promoters for a response element (specific sequence at which a transcription factor binds)).
    It save me some time and effort if I were able to quickly search in the web result using just the search function of the browser. Thanks.

    Mike Surace
