Chrome by default highlights all instances of the word in yellow with the 
currently selected instance in red. I think it would be good to imitate that, 
the closer this extension is to the default find the more users will fell 
comfortable with it. It could even be an option but it should be turned on by 
default.

FF's comparable feature has a "start of links only" option when searching on 
link text. That would be a great additional option setting for your 
extension. [Much thanks for providing this great addition to Chrome!]

In Chrome's regular find if you search for a word that doesn't exist on the 
page it displays a red 0 of 0 to indicate nothing was found. If you try the 
same thing with this extension it just doesn't let you type. I think when 
searching for a word that doesn't exist the entire box should turn red and 
say 0 of 0.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Type.
2. Observe the speed it finds the typed text
3. Get bored.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should have the same speed and funcionality as the default one 
(including search in iframe)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Chrome 4.0.266.0 and Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.

It should be a much better idea to do the following: when you type the 
first letter, it opens the DEFAULT search bar and puts the typed letter 
there. Your search engine is too slow compared to the default one.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enter http://feferraz.net
2. Start typing or hit ' or /
3. Search doesn't work.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected search started.
Search doesn't work.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Type-ahead-find - Version: 0.2.3
Google Chrome 4.0.249.43 on Ubuntu 9.04


Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to http://www.quackit.com/html/templates/frames/frames_example_1.html
2. type "example"
3. click to left frame and type "example" again

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
After 2nd step words should be found ( but it wasn't).
After 3d step there should be only one search box (against two).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Type-ahead-find - Version: 0.0.6 @ Ubuntu 

Please provide any additional information below.

Searching on a google search results page does not match once I hit one of 
the bold highlighted search terms.  E.g. do a google search for "test".  The 
second result reads "Speakeasy Speed Test", with "Test" bolded.  If you start 
typing "Speeed Test", it will match up to "Speed " but does not match once 
you hit the bolded text.

The extension started searching when in a form. The form should have been 
accepting text, but the extension started searching instead.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Extension is set in text search mode, not links.
2. When using PHPmySQLAdmin and Squirrel Mail, both part of my website's 
admin through CPanel, I placed the cursor in a text field and started 
typing.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I just expected text to be input into the field, but it started 
automatically searching.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Type-ahead-find - Version: 0.2.2. Windows XP, Chrome Beta 4.0.249.30.

Please provide any additional information below.
Obviously I have had to blacklist my admin site, but I'm wondering if the 
same thing doesn't happen with other forms.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Trying to search for links only using '.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I thought ' was for links only and / was for everything.  I know / is for 
links now (in my experience) because there are fewer search hits for the 
same terms when using ' and / causes the search box to turn blue (cool 
differentiator, BTW) while ' keeps the search box yellow.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.1.2; Win7

Please provide any additional information below.
Maybe this was intentional, but it seems like a reversal to me.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I have Keyboard Shortcuts enabled in Gmail.  For example, I can press the [a] 
key to select a message.  With this extension, pressing the [a] key will 
select my message as well as activate the search like it would normally.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Type-ahead-find - Version: 0.0.9
Google Chrome - 4.0.249.43
Windows 7 Ultimate

I don't understand what this option does and I'm not sure where to look for 
more information.

I noticed Andretti asked for a more "acid" highlighter color and figured the 
user probably didn't realize there is this issue/option posting page.

I don't mind the blue *that* much but agree that something like an orange or 
a yellow would probably stand out a touch more.

I don't know how to post as a suggestion rather than an issue, BTW.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Currently searching all text is the primary mode by default. That makes no 
sense, the only reason I want type-ahead find is to search links. I can 
already search for text with C-f and it works just as well or better (with 
the graphical markers on the scrollbar and friends)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Link search should be the primary mode, text search the secondary. I'm not 
against an option to switch them around for people who really insist on 
that, but I submit the *default* setup should favourite the link search.

I´m filling this new issue because I want to discuss the possibility of 
simulating Ctlr + F for using the default search bar.

I´ve searched on Google and I have found the following code to do this:

---------------

function simulateKeyPress(character) {
  jQuery.event.trigger({ type : 'keypress', which : character.charCodeAt(0) 
});
}

$(function() {
  $('body').keypress(function(e) {
    alert(e.which);
  });

  simulateKeyPress("e");
});

---------------

What do you think about?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to eg 
https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/cpecbmjeidppdiampimghndkikcmoadk
2. start typing
3. The find-as-you-type feature doesn't seem to get invoked.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect find-as-you-type to be started.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest from the chrome extension gallery.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use non ASCII keyboard.
2. Type ahead a word with non ASCII characters.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Non ASCII characters are omitted.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.2.2 on Windows XP SP3.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Typing in Google Reader
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
To have C-T-A disabled in GR, I see C-T-A at the top right of the screen, 
but it otherwise behaves as it should.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.1.1  Win7.

Please provide any additional information below.
Not a huge issue, just a head's up more than anything.

An option to set a timeout for searching links/text like Camino's default 
behaviour for find-ahead-type navigation would be a nice improvement. In 
Camino you can start typing, stop for a few seconds instead if hitting 
backspace for each character, and it will reset the search query. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to http://snail.meilk.com/cave/res/1.html
2. Try to input in any of the input fields at the top
3. Alternatively try entering a status message on your facebook profile

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Type-ahead search is triggered, thus preventing any text from being input 
in the fields.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.0.8

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm not sure if it helps, but the issue is not present in the "add comment" 
input fields on facebook, only the main one for your status message. 
Presumably that's because the comment fields are created dynamically via JS 
and thus not hooked, but maybe there's a more substantial cause that'd 
explain the difference in behaviours.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Type something to activate type-ahead
2. Press Cmd+G to find the next occurrence on that page

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
~Instead of finding the next occurrence of the type-ahead string, it'll open 
the Chrome search box and find the next occurrence of the last string that 
was searched using the built-in Cmd+F find.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
~0.2.5, Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard), Chrome v4.0.295.0 dev build.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install version 0.0.5
2. Try searching by typing text
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Searching should work, but unfortunately does not.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v0.0.5

Please provide any additional information below.
I uninstalled 0.0.4 and installed 0.0.5. Searching no longer works. 
Uninstalling 0.0.5 and reinstalling 0.0.4 results in the find as you type 
functionality to work again.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Search for a word
2. Press F3

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output is to find the next instance of the word. Instead the regular 
Chrome find bar pops up.

When you use ctrl-f to find a word Chrome puts little yellow marks in the 
scrollbar indicating where every instance of the word is. It also highlights 
every instance of the word in yellow and the currently selected instance in 
red. It would nice if this extension did the same.

Currently, there appears to be only one way to deactivate a search: pressing 
[ESC].  (If there are currently other ways, please let me know.)

Here are some other suggestions to deactivate:
1. Search deactivates after a certain (configurable?) amount of idle time.
2. If search field is empty, pressing [backspace] will deactivate it.

in Firefox is an option, which enables to just type and search, without 
preceding key. Because typing '/' is pressing two keys (on my german layout) 
which is no improvement over pressing ctrl+f

Please add an option as in Firefox, to start searching when the cursor is not 
in an input field.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start search by typing something
2. Press ENTER key
3. Nothing happens

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The default Chrome search goes to next match when the user presses the ENTER 
key. This is much more convenient than pressing the far F3 key.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Chrome 4.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. page don't show the results, just select the text. Issue on automatic 
scrolling page
2. the same problem with F3
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ubuntu 9.10, chrome beta for linux

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Using Alt+n/p.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

A soundless cycling through search hits.  I hear the Windows error ding.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.0.9; Windows 7 Home Premium

Please provide any additional information below.

Ctrl+g and F3 cycling do not produce the ding, just alt+n/p does.

There are a lot of requests from users to enable Firefox' quick find 
functionality in Google Chrome 
(http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?
tid=095c2cee4deef464&hl=en#all). Implementing this functionality should be 
relatively easy by only enabling find as you type after forward slash (or a 
custom shortcut?) was pressed.

Didn't really know how to summarize, but search for a word that is on a page, 
then add z or something to the end of it resulting in 0 of 0 matches. The 
word you searched for before adding a z is still selected. The selection 
should really be removed since there are 0 of 0 matches and that is no longer 
the word you're searching for.

With direct search state disabled and nothing in the blacklist, keyboard 
shortcuts still work while searching.

However, if all sites are blacklisted prior to changing to disabled direct 
search state (The blacklist textarea is grayed out and there is an asterisk 
inside.), keyboard shortcuts are disabled while searching.

Type-ahead-find - Version: 0.2.1

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Browse to several pages in one tab to create a history
2. Press backspace to "go back" in history

Instead of going back in the history, nothing happens.

*

Let me also add that a timeout would be nice, say after 30 seconds the search 
string length is set to "0".

What happened with the solution we find to compatibility with Autozoom? The 
problem is back on the new version you released (and, unfortunately, 
automatically updated on my machine).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Navigate to chrome://extensions/
2. start typing

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
self-explanatory.  I'd expect FAYT functionality.  

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.2.3, Chome Dev channel, Win7

Please provide any additional information below.
Of course, I don't really care that the extension doesn't work on this 
particular page, but this discrepancy may speak to a larger functionality 
gap.  Just flagging it.  

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to "http://www.exam4.com/" then click on "FAQ & User Guide" on the left 
under "for Law 
Schools"
2. Enter the search term "windows" in normal (text or link) mode at the top of 
the page.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
For the browser to automatically move/scroll to the search hits.  CTA displays 
that there are 6 
matches "windows (1 of 6)" but does not visually move to display the hits.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.2.5; Win7.

Please provide any additional information below.
Interestingly, the link to the same page (but pasted in the address bar instead 
of clicked on in 
the Web page) doesn't produce the same dysfunction.  
http://www.exam4.com/UserGuide.asp?
T=LawSchool

I raise this issue because, though it's a Web site I will never look at more 
than once or twice 
in my life, I wonder if it might have elements (I have no clue about 
JS/development) similar to 
other, more popular Web pages.

Go to www.newegg.com and type in memory then you can't close the search box 
just by clicking on the page. It also finds four examples of the word when it 
should find only one. It's searching the dropdown menus which it shouldn't 
do. Same bug as "search text as it is displayed" or something new?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Goto www.schwab.com
2. Entering text into any of the fields (search, login, passwords, etc.) 
begins to search the page
3. Unable to enter text into fields because it is being searched

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Can't login without disabling the extension. Text is searched, not entered

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.2.1, Chrome 4.0.266.0, Windows 7 x64

Please provide any additional information below.

Hi,
The update to 0.1.2 is not available from the extension page in Chrome: when 
you click on "update extensions" nothing happens, I think it's due to the 
website (https://chrome.google.com/extensions) which doesn't have the latest 
version.

Sorry if it's just an oversight, otherwise something's missing to update the 
website version with each latest version.

Thanks in advance.

Now that we have / and ', it would be natural to keep the meaning of each one 
(search text/links) without inverting them. 

Therefore, the existing option should select only which mode is the default 
when writing directly. 

Also a new option can be added to decide if we want direct search enabled or 
not.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Log into facebook.com
2.Start typing into your status box

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output: should see the text what you type in the box
Instead: type-ahead-find starts searching for the text

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Type-ahead-find Version: 0.0.6
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Chrome on OS X
2. Start typing find a match (of many)
3. Try to move to the next match by hitting CMD-G

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should move to the next match, instead brings up the integrated search.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
4.0.288.1 dev on OS X 10.6

Please provide any additional information below.
Thanks for the awesome plugin, Chrome wouldn't be useable without this.  
I'm guessing the CTRL/CMD behavior is just an oversight due to the odd 
apple way of doing things. :)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to https://chrome.google.com/extensions
2. Search for type ahead

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
type ahead should be there

I realise you might not be ready to unleash it on the masses, but it works 
great for me. Already a bunch of people are linking this extension around to 
each other, it'd be neat if it was on the extensions site - because I think 
then you could push updates as well.

<b>What steps will reproduce the problem?</b>
Open a page which automatically sets focus on an input field.  (Ex: 
http://www.google.com)

<b>What is the expected output? What do you see instead?</b>
User should be able to immediately type into the input field.  Instead, the 
input field is highlighted and user cannot type into the input field nor 
use find-as-you-type.

<b>What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?</b>
Type-ahead-find - Version: 0.0.8
Google Chrome - 4.0.249.43
Windows 7 - Build 7600


Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to http://www.thaisagalvao.com.br/tg/index.php
2. Search for "acessaram"
3. It will highlight the correct word (at the very bottom of the page), but 
it won´t scroll to the right position. You can try other words also.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should scroll to make the highlighted word visible

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows 7. Chrome 4.0.266

What steps will reproduce the "problem"?

1. Go to http://www.anymanga.com/
2. Start a text search 
3. Type 'yawara'

What do you see?

You see how the option 'Yawara' is selected (select up-right)

Question: do you guys like this behavior? Personally, this was something I 
always 
missed from Firefox-FAYT, but maybe is a tad unexpected.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go on www.google.com
2. Type "Con"
3. The ribbon hides the researched word which is "Connection"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I should see the researched word instead of that the ribbon hides it.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.1.1 on Windows 7 x64

Please provide any additional information below.
You did an excellent job, if this issue can't be fixed (I understand it's 
not really easy) it doesn't matter I'll continue to use this excellent 
extension.

Go to http://www.reddit.com/reddits/ and search for nsfw it doesn't scroll to 
the position of some occurrences of the word.

Search for something, then click the page to end the search. Press F3 and the 
Chrome find box pops up. It would be nice if in this situation the last 
search from this extension was started again. I know... I submit lots of 
issues huh?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Version 0.2 has been released and neither refreshing the browser nor 
clicking "update extensions now" updates the extension.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
An automatic update.  Static - version remains at 0.1.2

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.1.2; Win7

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm just going to update manually, but let me know if you'd like me to test 
anything out for the auto-update function.

It would nice to be able to search all text instead of links only. Perhaps an 
option menu?
