Not searchable code

[niksingh710]

using firefox code inside this github block is not searchable if using / to search

[gdh1995]

Well it's a limitation of Firefox - its webpage APIs don't allow web-extensions to search text in textareas which GitHub uses to "display code"

firefox ctrl+f is able to find text in that.

because ctrl-f doesn't use Firefox's webpage API

wouldn't it be possible to use that instead of firefox's webpage API?

[gdh1995]

No. it is conflicted with many features of Vimium C's FindMode, including regexp-finding.

I guess then it can only be resolved by intervention of Mozilla itself. Issue on Bugzilla.

@gdh1995 Issue

Please check this out once.

I know the API of browser.find.* but it's conflicted with many features of Vimium C's FindMode, including regexp-finding. So Vimium C won't use it.
