- Description
Search offered by browsers (Ctrl+F) looks in text areas. So if editing a wiki page (for example), browser search should allow finding a term in the wiki page's source. Unfortunately, CodeMirror does not find terms reliably, in Tiki 17 as well as trunk (r63983).
It's not exactly clear when search works and when it doesn't, but apparently occurrences of the search term inside the visible zone will be found. Those outside will not necessarily though.
For example, searching for "Smarty templates" in https://dev.tiki.org/DevTips only finds 1 of 3 occurences if the editor is at its default positioning (top).
This affects at least Firefox 55.0.3 and Google Chrome 61.0.
I consider this a serious bug for CodeMirror.
