5. enter some text that will appear on the page, and press enter
6. change to the other tab
7. the find dialog is still open, click pon this document, then click 'Find' on
the Find dialog
8. Notice nothing happens
9. Switch tabs and notice the other tab has the found text

Actual Results:  
Jeezy crimbos, the other tab found my bleeding text

Expected Results:  
found the text in whichever tab was active at the time
