Description

[Peter Stromberg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

When searching a web page you don't find text within a textarea.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a web page containing a form with a textarea
2. If there isn't any content in the textarea; paste some
3. Use the Firefox search web page feature

Actual Results:  
Unless you search for a piece of text that exists outside the textarea you never
get a success search, even if the matching text exists inside the textarea.

Expected Results:  
It should have found and selected the matching piece of text inside the
textarea. Like IE does.
