The text search is too picky. In other browsers, it is more acceptant.

Does not find non-breaking hyphen when searching hyphen.
Does not find accented letter when searching normal letter.
Does not find normal letter when searching accented letter.
Does not find "ç" when searching "c".
Does not find "c" when searching "ç".

In my humble opinion, Firefox must find all these searches.
