I would like to search through the infinite auto-scroll page for something #4128

I don't see where the "correct" place to ask about features or help or support etc. So anyway, here is:

How can I initiate a search that will continue scrolling the page until the text is found or load the infinite scrolling page until it is located? So the page is dynamic and loads more content, e.g. a list of videos on Facebook watch for example, looking for a certain title.

Could you please provide an example to reproduce the wrong behavior?

Does using your browsers Ctrl+f (or similar) search behave correctly?

jddcef commented 1 month ago

Ctrl F is the same.

I was thinking of a search that auto scrolls and keeps finding.

For example on a Twitter page. But the problem is that nowadays the pages are unloaded above the current viewport to save memory, so there's nothing to search that is above the current view. It's like a scrolling window on the content.

Maybe it's more of a makro type of action, go to bottom and search again, and repeat.
