@seanblue If it were an opt-in behavior then you wouldn’t be affected.

Yes I am aware that this happens in the results and am asking for it to be extended to other views based on user opt-in. This issue motivated me enough to find out the forum software that the board I was reading is using, then sign up to this board, and then read past discussions on the _Find in Topic_ and the hijacking of the browser’s Cmd/Ctrl+F, and then post this topic asking for this feature in a way that was compatible with the technical reasons given to past complainants.
