Plain-text search/find (Ctrl-F), across table data cells (td)?
I use Firefox 58.0.2 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 14.04.
Here is my problem: on a website like Mouser.com, I have an amount of information shown in a shopping card; it is not obvious this information is in a table to begin with. So, as part of this rendering, I get shown text, say, "0 Dispatches Now", and I'd like to search for it using plain-text Find (on Page), that is Ctrl-F. So I hit Ctrl-F, enter "0 Dispatches" - and there's no results found whatsoever?
So, I inspected their code a bit, and it turns out, the information is actually encoded as `<tr><td align='right'>0 </td><td>Dispatches Now</td></tr>`; that means, my search text (as a whole) is not in a single HTML element, and it sort of makes sense that Find here does not work.
However, is there some form of a workaround when using Ctrl-F, so that even in a case like this, I'd get the `<tr><td align='right'>0 </td><td>Dispatches Now</td></tr>` to match if I enter "0 Dispatches" in the Find box?

Try one of these add-ons: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=plain+text
Thanks @Mkll - I guess from those, the https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/replace/ would be useful - but haven't tested it yet...
