About

Type-ahead-find [1] is an accessibility feature to search links and text faster on a webpage. How to use it:

 * Start writing (or press /) to start text search.
 * Press ' to search only links.
 * Change option "direct search state" to set the default search policy (text, links or disabled).
 * Use (Shift+)F3 or (Shift+)Control+G or Alt+N/P to switch between matches.
 * Use F4 to toggle matching mode (text/links) once the search is active.
 * Blacklist sites that set up their own shortcuts.
 * The search shows first matches in current viewport.

Limitations:

 * It cannot search inside iframes.
 * It does not search text in adjacent HTML nodes (i.e. "hello" won't be found in HTML <b>He</b>llo)
 * If the page already sets Javascript keybidings, the extension may misbehave. The best solution is to blacklist the site in the options page and disable the extension for this particular website.
