Ah, yeah, you don’t want to use `find()` when dealing with `:contains`, you will want to use `exists()`

Example of it at  
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/test/javascripts/acceptance/search-full-test.js.es6#L274-L287](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/test/javascripts/acceptance/search-full-test.js.es6#L274-L287)

IIRC, that is because `find()` will still return an empty object back and should be used with `assert.equal` so you can compare a specific attribute of what you expected to find to an expectation.

`exists` will handle that object being empty and treat it as “not found” or “false”
