1. Open a page with elements containing on* event listener attributes (onload, et cetera).  Use this page, for example.
2. Open the find dialog and switch to search by attribute.
3. Type "^on" in the name field and leave the value blank.
4. Search.

Expected results:
Search iterates through all nodes containing on* event listener attributes.  As of this writing, the body element has an onload attribute, so it should stop there first if you tried it on this page.

Actual results:
No matches.  "End of document reached".
