Thank you so much for making this. It's going to make fic research so much easier.

Nice little tool! Quite fun to just search up random stuff. :D

I have a few suggestions:
- Add emphasis to the speaker name to separate it from dialogue
- Move the episode name/number underneath the dialogue line (but keep the small text, it's nice)
- Display the number of results found

This is amazing!!!

Done, done, and done. It might be a little while before it takes effect, though. Thanks for the suggestions!

Excellent. Much more convenient than searching the wiki. Thank you.

I officially love you.

This is pretty nifty. I do note that there doesn't seem to be a way to get only specific results when searching for a shorter bits, such as "Tom", that are also parts of other words, such as "tomorrow".

The search was designed to work with Regular Expressions. If you want a specific word, you could use the following:
\bTom\b
which will match only the word 'tom' between two word borders. I know it's a little confusing, but Regular Expressions are very powerful, and open a lot of avenues for more complex searches, so I wanted that functionality intact.

Ah, yes, that's on me. I did check the help section and saw that and... didn't really think about it after that. You could supply that link to further help in the tool's help section, to fool(that's me!)-proof it further.

Good idea! I'll do that.
