"Fidn in this Page" does not work within textareas like the one i'm typing this...
This is especially annoying when you have to edit in long articles, like in
wikipedia.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. press CTRL + F
2. type something, that IS in a textarea on the current page
3. search




I'd suggest the options
* "search in textfields" (for both fields and areas)
* "search in current textfield" (only the one that has been activated by
clicking; grey out, if not available)
also, the option
*search in current frame only
may be useful
