Feature request: Stateful search textbox (cache last used regex after page reload etc.) #384

Although vanilla search func. in Chrome mostly sucks, it has this one advantage over find+ (IMHO) - it stores the state of the last used phrase in the search textbox. Given that after reloading and opening the search dialog again, the whole phrase is selected, if you want to: i) enter another phrase you just do in exact manner as currently - no other input is needed (hitting backspace etc.) ii) reuse previous search -->

So, as showed above it just extends the plugin's functionalities.

Steps to Reproduce

1) open any non-chrome-uri page 2) enter search phrase /regex 3) reload page / open another webpage (either by clicking hyperlink or directly after typing address in the Omnibox) 4) <search phrase is present /gone>

Repeat steps 1-4 for stock search Chrome dialog to compare.

Tasks

## Screenshots and Documentation Requirements: * * after e.g. page reloading and opening the find+ dialog again (e.g. via hotkey) whole phrase in the textbox should be selected, similarly to the behaviour of the vanilla Google Chrome search functionality. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ P.S. @brandon1024 beside the feature request, just wanted to let you know that your extension absolutely rocks. SO MANY hours saved while browsing through the countless and never-ending logs in the Web UIs etc. One of the very best plugins I've used so far in Chrome.
