Summary: New style prevents many browser's "search in page"

/ is a keyboard shortcut in Firefox to search text in links, no meta key is
needed. Ctrl+F searches for text in general. This was already a feature in
Mozilla Suite and Netscape. I personnally don't use that feature, but just for
the record, this is a similar but different feature than ctrl+F.

I use Firefox on Linux and have exactly the same problem.

I should probably not have said "many". It might be just the ones I use. On a
clean Ubuntu install Firefox, Web (the Gnome browser) and Midori all take '/'
to start an in-page search.
Also, "take over this functionality" is maybe too strong. All that is taken
over is the key binding; the functionality can be accessed using Ctrl+F. It's
just that I've been using '/' for so many years that I notice when a website
alters the behaviour.

Which "Many browsers"?
I think you need to activate a plugin of some sorts for catching global space
like that. Browser generally need a meta/function key or something (like alt or
ctrl)

Description:
------------
With JavaScript enabled, typing / moves focus to the search box. Many browsers
use / as the key to activate a "search in this page" function. It seems a
shame to take over that functionality.
