921097 - Search HTML in the HTML view of Dev Tools doesn't find things that are present

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Inspector, defect)

Description

[Seth Fowler [:seth] [:s2h]]

STR:

1. Load up http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?editor=id#map=18/37.91720/-122.17657
2. Open up dev tools and choose the Inspector tab
3. Enter "icon-operation-delete" into the Search HTML field

Expected result:

You find one of multiple references to "icon-operation-delete" in the file. (Compare with Chrome's dev tools, which find them with no problem.)

Actual results:

You find nothing.


Possibly the issue is with the fact that "icon-operation-delete" is always referenced in attributes, rather than in text?

Seth, 

Are you looking for content or for markup (dom features).

<p class="foo" id="bar">blah</p>
<p class="foo" id="bar2">bouh</p>

aka right now the inspector proposes to find
* p (multiple enter will navigate through p). It would be good to display the list.
* . (pop up a list of all "class" attribute values)
* .foo (displays the number of foo)
* # (pop up a list of all "id" attribute values)

* blah will not bring anything. It doesn't search the content.

Just mentioning, because it annoys me. I guess it's also related to Bug 908254 which requires to be more explicit.

All of this seems fixed now. Search will find attribute name, attribute content, and tag content

Didn't know about the shorthands . and # in search.

Tried to find ´id="bar"´ which doesn't find anything which is weird.

I think the possibility to search for any string should be added.
