There is now:

.match() .matchAll()

... per some discussion on #webapi. Thanks for your feedback.

as per later discussion on #webapi, please change these names, .match is too similar to match in ES, and I would expect it to take a regular expression (perfectly reasonable to run a regular expression over a DOM).

Fair enough, here are the requirements for the name:

* short * simple

... suggestions are welcome.

Also it's very odd to have .match() return only the first of something, it should return all of them, like everywhere else the name is used to avoid confusion (I'm not sure of the use case of just matching one anyway, please provide - if it's scripting performance, let's have a limit on the general case, because I often only what the first 4 things as much as only 1, gEBI covers the 1 case...)

The reason is performance.

Mainly these names say nothing about their inescapable link to Selectors, they should.

What would be the reason for that?
