No, this functionality does not exist for Chrome and there is no extension I have seen that modifies Chrome's Find behavior (for reasons that will become obvious once I address the next question). > 2) Is it possible to use the existing find bar, or do I need to roll > my own in DOM? We currently do not have any extension API that allows you to modify/use the existing Find bar nor initiate/modify searches in Chrome. There is also no such extension API in development at the moment, but that's not to say we won't add one at some point.
