It produces very confusing results. Typing "important" found a word where "imp"
was inside the found word but the word did not start with "imp". Searching for
"other" gave me no hits inside a web page although there were several occasions.

Reproducible: Always

Can you please download a new nightly build and try again? Typeahead find has 
made several improvements since 1.2.1.

1.3 (official release) shows the same problems

[e-mail], are you aware FAYT only finds text in *links*, not
regular text?

repoter: please provide a specific webpage, and indicate how you triggered
typeahead find (just typing? typing / followed by letters?...)

Also, if you could tell us your typeahead preferences, that would be good. Have
you changed them from default?

Could you please run the following testcases:
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/browser/front-end/testcases/keyboard-nav/taf_acceptance.html
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/browser/front-end/testcases/keyboard-nav/taf_functional.html

Please report any problems you find, including if any testcases fail.

Thanks.

After changing the preferences to use all text inside a page 
everything works fine for me.
