Can't search for superscript and normal text together #39

willismonroe commented 5 years ago

I'm trying to find text on a page that uses the HTML tag for superscript and the add-on is not able to search for text which spans the sup tag.

For example this page (it's quite large): http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/cams/gkab/cbd/akk/onebigfile.html

If you Ctrl-F "dubdub" in the normal Chrome search you find four text matches, however when you do the same search with the add-on you only get two. The two missing from the add-on are strings where half of the search term appears in superscript.

This is because this extension doesn't support searching across different elements. The text has to be within a tag. There was a PR about this #13
