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.

I just tested here and it's working fine for me. I hit Cmd+F, type
BEGIN in the box and hit return, and it highlights all the occurrences
of BEGIN as well as selecting the first one. Cmd+G selects the next
one.

What are you searching for exactly? Are you using a regexp or plain string?

What platform and browser are you using? I'm on macOS 10.14 with
Chrome 71.0.3578.98.
