Chrome Devtools will report the number of matches of a string I search, but won’t actually show me the elements. It tells me I have 15 matches for my search and only highlights two of them.

Searching for answers on this has turned up nothing except a million questions about “CSS selectors” which is not my issue as I’m searching a plain string.

I have a website open in Chrome v124, F12 to open Devtools, Ctrl-F to search for a string (in this case, I searched for ‘offline’ minus the single quotes).

It tells me I have 15 matches and highlights the first match. I am only able to cycle through the first two matches with the up/down arrows.

After that, the highlighter doesn’t move, and cycling through the matches with the arrows does nothing but change the match number.

Is this intended behaviour? If so, why? If not, how do I fix this?
