This is intentional. You can press CTRL+F twice to get back to the browser built-in search on long topics.

> Ctrl-F is for searching the page, for example specific text in a conversation (huge use case). Discourse seems to think it knows better and wants to search other conversations for the text. Thus leaving one no way to search the actual page you’re on for text. Taking over and changing browser functionality is very bad. This is happening on Chrome.

And plenty more topics on the matter
