If browsers had to retry open "find"s every time the page content changed, then leaving one's find bar open could have very large negative performance effects, even if the browser focused only on the modified pieces of the page. Is there an implementation idea I'm missing for how browsers could fix this "bug" in a performant way? Otherwise I can't see us doing what it seems like you want. PK
