Search for text in on a webpage and replace it with different text.

---------------------------------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------------------------------
1. Refresh the page or restart chrome before using.
2. The popup will not stay open if you click elsewhere. This is a feature of Chrome.
3. Search and replace terms are remembered between popup closing and opening for the current tab only.
4. `Match Case`, `Regular expressions`, `input fields only` currently not supported in Gmail.
5. Please read the Help page if you are having issues or ask for support.

This extension allows you to search for text anywhere on the page and replace it with different text. The search can take case into consideration and can be limited to input fields only. It could be used to quickly correct a form where the wrong information has been entered multiple times

You can also search using regular expressions. For example, searching for one(one|two) will match either "oneone" or "onetwo". The match that was caught by the parentheses can then be referenced in the replace field as $1. So if we had the text "onetwo", search for one(one|two), and replace with $1, the result is "two" as this is what was matched in the parentheses ()..

My life would suck without this tool. I've tried SO MANY different Find&Replace tools for Chrome, but none have worked for "input fields" like this one has. Almost all of them only change what I can see (like if I no longer wanted to see the word 'Lakers' and wanted to see 'Clippers' instead). This will make an ACTUAL CHANGE to the input fields on the web forms I use for my job. The only trick (for me) is that in order for the forms to remember the change, I have to click in the box (or just hold down tab until it runs through every field on the page, which is usually quicker and lazier). Considering I have to make multiple changes on hundreds of pages, it's absolutely worth it. THANK YOU.

What's up with the new permissions?
Manage apps, extensions and themes? What's that for?
EDIT: New version with reduced permissions works well. Thanks!
