Feature parity with Find on Page
The "Find on Page" feature in the "legacy" Edge have the really usefull options: "Match whole word" and "Match case" which, as the names suggest, enable as to find on a page for a whole word and/or m...
Thank you for the feedback. I will make sure that the search team is aware of this suggestion.
I second all of the above, we urgently need a better Search / "Find on Page" feature to enhance search especially for business, educational and scientific purposes.
This would also put Edge ahead of Chrome for everyone relying on this feature and encourage Firefox users to switch, because FF offers all of these advanced options.
Honestly the very rudimentary search function is the main reason that keeps me and many others working in a professional environment away from switching to Edge.
So please pass this feature request to the developer team.
To sum it up, here's what we'd like to see:
- add option for case-sensitive / whole word finds (as leonidev suggested)
- ability to pin the find box so it is available on all tabs (like MarinM mentioned)
- on top create a fly-out that lists all finds on a page (like the Bing-search fly-out) so it would be easier to switch between finds on larger pages and pdf documents
Thanks in advance and best regards
