There’s some very strange behaviour that happens when you use CTRL+F to search for text on a page.
For example:
- Go to: https://perchance.org/useful-generators
- CTRL+F or use your browser’s page search functionality.
- Type in
image
.
The first “image” text on the page is in the “images & sprites” heading. But before that, it finds 4 instances of “image” which… seemingly don’t exist? Are hidden or something? Looking at the code of that generator I have no idea. Only then does it find any of the real instances of “image” that are on the page–three of them.
This problem happens all over the site on all sorts of generators by the way, it’s not unique to that one. It’s just an easy example.
For me personally this has been troublesome when trying to search on a documentation page for some particular function name–things like that. Or when there’s a very complex generator with a ton of buttons I want to find one that does the thing I want to do–but instead I have to read through every one of them, because the page search doesn’t work correctly.
By the way I’m using Chrome 126.0.6478.132 (Official Build) (64-bit). I haven’t tested on other browsers, but as a lot of the big browsers are Chromium-based I’m guess at least those will have the issue.
