I've noticed that CSS styles affect searches, in that if it's not displayed in CSS then it can't be searched for.
With case-sensitive searches, the text-transform style (uppercase, lowercase, etc) doesn't apply, even though the visible text looks uppercase/lowercase.

Try a case-sensitive search (ctrl-f) for "navigation" on Wikipedia for an example.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a site with text-transform styles applied to a part of text.
2. Try to do a (case-sensitive) search for what the text appears to be.

Actual Results:  
Fails to find the text in the displayed case (you have to use the case specified in the source code)

Expected Results:  
The text in its visible case should have been found.

To clarify - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Boadicea_%281908%29 - hit ctrl-f - select case sensitive text - enter 'navigation' - and it doesn't match - Navigation does, which is not the apparant text.
