Apparently some smart shithead decided to override ctrl+f browser behavior when you edit files directly on github.

Edit renders only part of file and displays search under edit file label that disappears every time you find something. ( what if there is more then one occurrence smartass )

Default ctrl+f can’t find text on page unless it’s displayed.

Thanks morons.

    There's usually nothing else on the page than the files that's worth searching and I use the feature as it's intended without too much trouble.

    What are you even trying to search on the page when you're reading source code?

    @hashedram I was trying to search for a method in EDIT MODE to make quick change. Method is in one big file and is invoked couple of times in this file.
    It was easier to download repo then click ctr+f+enter couple of times.

    In normal mode there is whole file visible and ctrl+f works as expected.
