Using Chrome's find on page function CTRL+F , how can I search with the OR operator? i.e. search for aaa or bbb within the webpage that Chrome shows?

enter image description here

btw , I prefer not to use Extension or plugin

  • I think maybe chrome and perhaps other brownsers haven't developed that that well.. there may be an answer with extensions to chrome https://superuser.com/questions/417875/how-can-i-search-for-regular-expressions-within-webpages-using-google-chrome-or BTW in regex, OR would be | or || – barlop May 15 '20 at 16:16

    I think it's not possible because writing OR interprets it as text as well and not logical operator. –  May 15 '20 at 16:20
  • I am not certain Chrome supports this natively, but a Chrome plugin like [efTwo (F2) - Advanced Find on Page](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/eftwo-f2-advanced-find-on/ccaikggmppdolhcehimngikgiafmdcep) might be worth a look. – Anaksunaman May 15 '20 at 16:22

Natively, this is not support (and I doubt it ever will be). However, there are certain extensions for that. Some are advanced Find on Page tools, as mentioned, but in general, look for a Regex search tool, e.g. 1. These can search for alternates using the | symbol, e.g. aaa|bbb among many other regex patterns.

Keyboard workaround: Ctrl+F5, type search word, enter. Press Esc key, then rinse-repeatn for second OR search: Ctrl+F5, type search word, enter
