Is there a way to look for a word on a page using Greasemonkey, and if that word appears anywhere on the page, either display a message box, that the user has to click OK, or just redirect to another page instantly?

how about

JS code:

---

if (/someword/m.test(document.body.innerText)) alert("OMFG")

---

but that would include any other inline stuff in the source (js in <script> tags, css etc)

Well, I've managed to come up with this, although it spams the alert for every instance of the word. How could I make it only alert once?

js code:

---

    // ==UserScript==
    // @name          Alert
    // @namespace    --
    // @description   Alert
    // @include   *
     
    // ==/UserScript==
     
    (function() {
     
    const WORD = {
      "test": {"color": "red"},
    };
     
    function highlightText() {
     
      var allTextNodes = document.evaluate('//text()', document, null,
                                           XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
                                           null);
     
      for (var i = 0; i < allTextNodes.snapshotLength; i++) {
        var ele = allTextNodes.snapshotItem(i);
        for (var key in WORD) {
       
          if (ele.nodeValue.toLowerCase().indexOf(key) != -1) {
            var span = document.createElement("span");
            ele.parentNode.replaceChild(span, ele);
            span.appendChild(ele);
       
            for (var css in WORD[key]) {
              span.style[css] = WORD[key][css];
              alert("test");
         
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
     
      highlightText();
    })();

Also, what if the word wasnt actually hardcoded into the page source, but retrieved from a session, or something, how could I detect the word then?

To prevent alert spamming you could just build in a variable in place of the alert that is changed to 1 when a word is found, then after the search has been made, check the variable, if = 1, alert...

js code:

---

    // ==UserScript==
    // @name          Alert
    // @namespace     http://sammyservers.com
    // @description   Alert
    // @include   *
     
    // ==/UserScript==
     
    (function() {
     
    const WORD = {
      "test": {"color": "red"},
    };
   
    //build in the global variable...
    var j = 0;
     
    function highlightText() {
     
      var allTextNodes = document.evaluate('//text()', document, null,
                                           XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
                                           null);
     
      for (var i = 0; i < allTextNodes.snapshotLength; i++) {
        var ele = allTextNodes.snapshotItem(i);
        for (var key in WORD) {
       
          if (ele.nodeValue.toLowerCase().indexOf(key) != -1) {
            var span = document.createElement("span");
            ele.parentNode.replaceChild(span, ele);
            span.appendChild(ele);
       
            for (var css in WORD[key]) {
              span.style[css] = WORD[key][css];
              //changes the global variable to 1
              j = 1;         
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
      highlightText();
      if(j = 1){
        alert("test");
      }
    })();

I'm, not too strong on the javascript front so the code might not be solid, but in theory it should work!

As for searching the word outside of the source I have no clue...

Oh yeah, don't know why I didnt think of doing that. Thanks a lot.

IF anyone has any suggestions on how to search for the word outside of the page source, I would be highly grateful.

I don't actually get what you're trying to do tbh, I understand about looking for a word in a page source, but when would you find, or even look, for a word outside of that? Example of where you're trying to find the word?

Well, this is for a friend of mine, and its for a game called Pokemon battle arena. He wants it to alert him when the word "shiny" is found in the page, but since this isnt hardcoded, and the URL has a random set of arguments for each pokemon encounter, I was wondering if there would be a way to scan the page body, even if the word wasnt in the source.

Ah, I've just taken a look at the game. I see what you mean about it not actually being in the source, but I can see where the text is meant to appear in the source, it's just been hidden. Hmm... I'm not too sure at the moment, if I think of a method I'll let you know.

Okay then, thank you very much.

just to make sure i'm getting this right, this is where the "shiny whatever" will appear?
