    There is no Chrome API for this, everything would need to be done in javascript, just like if you were doing it on a regular web page. If you know how to do all this in javascript then transferring it to Chrome would be trivial, if you don't know how to do this in javascript then the question is too vague in its current form. – serg Mar 10 '11 at 16:55

1) There are a number of ways to ways to find text on pages. Here is an example with jQuery.

2) Google has a tutorial for using OAuth from an extension. This should work with most OAuth providers. You can also use cookies or Basic Auth if you want something simpler.
