Re: Either Find does not work or I don't know how to make it work

Malik,

Yes, I can confirm that it's rather counterintuative. Ubuntu 18.10,
Chromium here. Cntrl-F in the query window causes the *Search: *bar to
appear. Doing *anything* other than clicking in the text box to the right
of the *Search:* will cause the search bar to disappear. Entering text
into that text box and hitting the enter key will *also* cause that Search
bar to disappear and it will scroll to the first instance of the result (if
it isn't already on the screen and highlight all matches. Cntrl-G will
select each match in order. Selections are indicated by having a grey
background. *Replace,* in my opinion, is worse. More disappearing bars.
Enter the existing text after the *Replace:* then it *disappears* replaced
by a *With:* that you enter what you want it replaced with, which then also
disappears. A UI that presented the end user with both Find: & Replace at
the same time, and didn't keep disappearing would be most helpful.

Just my $0.02.

rik.
