> It seems that (on a Chromebook, anyway) when searching a long thread with CTRL+F I get topic results that match the term entered, but I have no way to see whether or not there are any yellow highlighted terms matching the term without scrolling through the entire topic, visually scanning for the yellow highlight.

You have to click or tap the search results to get navigated to the match, like so, here I did the following

1. Clicked search icon
2. Typed “list” without the quotes
3. **Clicked the first match**
