I sometimes want to use the browser search window within topics since the Discourse search function jumps only to posts and not the exact position of the search term. Pressing Ctrl+F works quite well.

However, the Discourse search window doesn’t close automatically when I use the browser’s search function. The first few search results therefore are often within the search window. That’s quite annoying.

Expected behaviour: When I press Ctrl+F the second time, the Discourse search window should close automatically.
