Use regex in find mode

[angelonuffer]

I like regex and the vimium don't have it.
I saw the issue #367 and wanted to contribute.
Have some bugs, but I think it is the begin.
Thats it.

Thanks for taking a stab at this. The code needs to be documented further and any outstanding bugs eliminated before we can pull it in.

What are the outstanding bugs?

[philc]

@angelonuffer, you mentioned there are some remaining bugs. What are they? And would you also like to document the code?

[angelonuffer]

I'm sorry for the time.. I think the bugs were:

• n and N are not correct
• if the regex is not complete (e.g. "^[a-z"), it crashes
  I don't remember anymore bugs.
  Documentation is only the readme and help dialog?

[philc]

Documentation as in adding comments to the code and renaming variables so that it's more clear what's going on.

Can't wait for it to be merged!

@angelonuffer: did you delete your fork? I'd be happy to polish it up and merge it in for you, but I can't pull / edit it offline without access to the original repository.

Nevermind -- I added in your changes as a single commit, with you as the author, and I added your name to CREDITS too. I hope that's cool with you. The final implementation was a bit more work, but your idea of grepping textContent seems to be the right approach, and it wasn't something I'd thought of before. Thanks!

The regex-find code is now located on a branch of that name, and should be merged into master soon.
