How to raise an event on find bar text change

Question

How can i get the find bar text in a browser and is there any way to raise an event when the text is changed inside findbar.
My Intention behind this is assigning the value to a Local variable on findbar change.

What exactly do you mean by find bar? Do you mean the address bar or the bar for searching through a page you get on Ctrl-F? — Tikhon Jelvis, Nov 24 '11 at 04:11
