Is there a way to perform case sensitive on page searches in Google Chrome?

Say I'm searching for "Tree" and I want to exclude all variants such as "tree" or "TREE" which don't match the case I'm looking for. Is this possible?

No; as of 6th April 2011, this feature request with Chromium (the open source code base of Chrome) has been rejected.

There is also a nice plugin for that: QuickFind

Developer tools in Chrome supports case sensitive search.

Open Developer Tools for the current tab (Ctrl+Shift+I – that's capital "i"),
then open Search across all sources (Ctrl+Shift+F), and choose Match Case.

If case sensitivity isn't sufficient, this also supports regular expressions.

Here's a function which prompts for a word and performs a case-sensitive search:

var searches = searches || 0;



(function () {

var count = 0,

    text;

text = prompt('Search:', '');

if (text == null || text.length === 0) return;



function searchWithinNode(node, re) {

    var pos, skip, acronym, middlebit, endbit, middleclone;

    skip = 0;

    if (node.nodeType === 3) {

        pos = node.data.search(re);

        if (pos >= 0) {

            acronym = document.createElement('ACRONYM');

            acronym.title = 'Search ' + (searches + 1) + ': ' + re.toString();

            acronym.style.backgroundColor = backColor;

            acronym.style.borderTop = '1px solid ' + borderColor;

            acronym.style.borderBottom = '1px solid ' + borderColor;

            acronym.style.fontWeight = 'bold';

            acronym.style.color = borderColor;

            middlebit = node.splitText(pos);

            endbit = middlebit.splitText(RegExp.lastMatch.length);

            middleclone = middlebit.cloneNode(true);

            acronym.appendChild(middleclone);

            middlebit.parentNode.replaceChild(acronym, middlebit);

            count++;

            skip = 1;

        }

    } else if (node.nodeType == 1 && node.childNodes && node.tagName.toUpperCase() != 'SCRIPT' && node.tagName.toUpperCase != 'STYLE') for (var child = 0; child < node.childNodes.length; ++child) child = child + searchWithinNode(node.childNodes[child], re);

    return skip;

}

var borderColor = '#' + (searches + 8).toString(2).substr(-3).replace(/0/g, '3').replace(/1/g, '6');

var backColor = borderColor.replace(/3/g, 'c').replace(/6/g, 'f');

if (searches % 16 / 8 >= 1) {

    var tempColor = borderColor;

    borderColor = backColor;

    backColor = tempColor;

}

searchWithinNode(document.body, text);

window.status = 'Found ' + count + ' match' + (count == 1 ? '' : 'es') + ' for ' + text + '.';

if (count > 0) searches++;

})();

It can be saved as a bookmarklet for easy access.
