Feature parity with Find on Page
- I have been finding with the new Edge (Version 105.0.1343.27 (Official build) (64-bit)) "Find On Page" the text that I am searching for changes.
I use CRTL-F, type in the text I'm looking for. Next time I use it the text that I had previously searched for has been changed to something other than what I typed in. (Example, use Find to search for an individual's name then I copy their ID number. Next time I use Find sometimes the ID number will then be in the Find On Page field, sometimes it is something random, like a date.)
If this is a feature of the new Edge perhaps there could be an option to turn what-ever-it-is off. I second all of the above, we urgently need a better Search / "Find on Page" feature to enhance search especially for business, educational and scientific purposes.
This would also put Edge ahead of Chrome for everyone relying on this feature and encourage Firefox users to switch, because FF offers all of these advanced options.
Honestly the very rudimentary search function is the main reason that keeps me and many others working in a professional environment away from switching to Edge.
So please pass this feature request to the developer team.To sum it up, here's what we'd like to see:
- add option for case-sensitive / whole word finds (as leonidev suggested)
- ability to pin the find box so it is available on all tabs (like MarinM mentioned)
- on top create a fly-out that lists all finds on a page (like the Bing-search fly-out) so it would be easier to switch between finds on larger pages and pdf documents
Thanks in advance and best regards
VickiIn addition, I would like the find on page box to be under the favorites bar as in Edge Legacy, rather than covering the favorites bar.
