On a page like http://my-internal-jenkins-server/jobs/my-job/143/consoleFull where it displays the
console output from a job, the C-s and C-r search works intermittently at best. I'm trying to use
conkeror as my primary browser, but I have to keep going back to firefox or chrome to get any kind of
reliable text search on these types of pages. At first I thought it was on really large console output
(say 1.5MB of text) but it happens as low as 700k. I'm on ubuntu 11.10 using conkeror from
https://launchpad.net/~xtaran/+archive/conkeror. I can be staring at text on the page, select the word
next to it (in vain hope of ensuring the related/searchable frame and/or text is in focus) and it still
won't find it with C-s. I can switch to firefox and C-f finds it with 100% reliability.
