Amazing extension! It was the only one that could find text on Pages with frames, iframes and other complex structures (following the instructions in the extension, it just needs a click on the area/field where it's supposed to perform the search to work).

Unfortunately it does not work. It finds all instances of a word in a form, but does not replace them.
