Get entire document HTML as string

I want to find all instances of a regex pattern within a webpage. I want to do something like this:

    myWindow=window.open('http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javascript','_self','');

    var n=myWindow.document.match(/Jav/g);  //  This line obviously doesn't work but how would I do this?

    myWindow.document.write(n);

Is there a way to put all the text from the webpage into a string, and from that point search the string? Or, is there a way to retrieve the HTML source code, which could then be searched? How would I do this?

Can I do this with an browser extension to avoid the "same origin policy"? – Qwertyfshag Dec 04 '12 at 22:24
