User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.10) Gecko/20100504 SeaMonkey/2.0.5 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.10) Gecko/20100504 SeaMonkey/2.0.5 Search results are always at the bottom of the page. Some web sites cover this region with stuff, so the results cannot be seen! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. go to the web site given 2. search for 'web' Actual Results: The word 'web' is always under the bar at the bottom of the page, you have to move the page to see it. Expected Results: The search function should always attempt to put the result into the middle of the window, where it is most visible! It is much harder to see results at the bottom of the page. The search should show those only if it is at the end of the page and cannot put the result in the middle. Otherwise the results should always be centered on the window. This will improve page search dramatically.
To do the page search, open the url and type: /web This highlights the first case. Command G [on a mac] will highlight the second case. Command G for the third time will refresh the page to be further down, but the word 'web' is not highlighted. To see it, scroll two lines down. Further command Gs will be obscured until the search wraps to the top.
