that's what discourse does. it's frustrating because it's significantly slower than the built-in browser search, probably in part due to excessive network accesses, but also probably due to poor caching and inefficient implementation.

I hate discourse's CTRL+F. When things like this happen I open the devtools and search in the dom, and it's a horrible experience too. I just don't want to learn each website's custom controls. Don't hijack my CTRL+F or my scrolling or anything else please!

The custom UI is also IMO terrible. It's completely different than the browser Ctrl-F UI. It does not simply highlight and move to the matches. Instead it shows a "preview", so you have to navigate to each match separately and back to the search UI. And it just navigates to the matching comment, but for very long comments I still have no idea where in the comment the match is. Thankfully you can press Ctrl-F twice to get the browser UI.
