What's new in ctrl-f ULTRA. Back to home

1.0.6 — Faster highlighting on match-heavy pages

Typing a common letter or term on pages with thousands of matches no longer freezes the tab.

  • ·Fixed a multi-second freeze when a query matched thousands of times on a single page, caused by recalculating each match's position immediately after inserting it
  • ·Match positions are now measured in a single batched pass after highlighting finishes, instead of once per match

1.0.5 — Stable minimap tick marks

Right-edge match indicators stay aligned with highlights while you scroll on long pages.

  • ·Fixed minimap ticks moving or compressing during scroll; positions are set from each match’s document location at highlight time
  • ·Strengthened minimap layer styling so host-page CSS is less likely to override the fixed sidebar

1.0.4 — Scroll to match in nested panes

Next and previous match scrolling now follows highlights inside inner scroll areas, not only the main page.

  • ·Fixed jumping to the active highlight on sites with multiple scroll regions (e.g. side-by-side columns or chat layouts)

1.0.3 — Find bar keyboard behavior

Open-chord matches native find: refocus the query field, and optional prefill from the current selection.

  • ·Open shortcut (e.g. Ctrl/Cmd+F) with the bar already open focuses and selects the find field instead of closing it
  • ·When opening the bar, if the saved query is empty, prefill up to 100 characters from the current page selection (does not change the max length users can type)

1.0.2 — Formatting and multi-tab reliability

Cross-browser UI consistency for the find bar and reliable optional multi-tab search.

  • ·Fixed remaining term-list spacing/alignment inconsistencies
  • ·Adjusted color editor row spacing for Chrome and Firefox parity
  • ·Fixed multi-tab search when the browser omits tab metadata on extension messages (notably Firefox)
  • ·Resolve the sending tab from page URL when needed so match summaries and peer-tab mirroring stay in sync
  • ·Short-lived multi-tab match summaries stored in local storage, cleared on browser start or extension update

1.0.1 — UI polish and Firefox follow-up fixes

Refined term-list alignment and typography consistency in production builds across browsers.

  • ·Fixed term-list row alignment for saved query and multi-tab hint layouts
  • ·Normalized text casing and spacing where host-page CSS forced uppercase or letter spacing
  • ·Adjusted control/icon sizing for better visual balance in the find bar
  • ·Kept saved query display text in the same case users typed
  • ·Matched Firefox and Chrome production UI behavior

1.0.0 — Initial public release

First stable build of ctrl-f ULTRA: regex search, multi-term highlights, and PDF support.

  • ·Regex and literal search with the same keyboard flow as native find-in-page
  • ·Multi-term mode with distinct highlight colors
  • ·Search inside in-browser PDFs
  • ·Saved searches and optional multi-tab search
  • ·Highlight palettes tuned for color vision accessibility
