232671 - Find doesn't look in form fields

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 58305

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, enhancement)

Description

[Derrick Coetzee]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031228

When I attempt to use "Find in this Page" to find something inside the text 
field, it doesn't work. Because many text fields can get very large, it would 
be a lot more convenient if there were a way to do this without moving the text 
to another application. In IE, for example, Find will find page content text as 
well as input text, in layout order.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to page containing an input text box.
2. Choose "Find in this page" from the Edit menu.
3. Type a phrase occurring only in the text box.

Actual Results:  
I received an Alert stating "The text you entered was not found."

Expected Results:  
Scrolled to the the place in the input box where the text occurs and 
highlighted it.
