I often have reason to search for a particular key word in a web page, mostly as a time saver to avoid poring over thousands of words manually on a long page. It usually works pretty well, but not today.

At this blog page:
<https://koreanstudentblog.wordpress.com/2013/12/>
if you scroll about 35% of the way down (guesstimating by the position of the button on the vertical scroll bar), you'll see an image of the back of a woman's head, under the headline "Hair sticks!" Place your cursor somewhere in the paragraph in between, "A picture today. Yep that is me…" and search for the word "metro" (using Ctrl-F, of course). No hits, right?

Now scroll down slightly to the next heading, "Word of the day: 지옥철." You'll clearly see three instances of "metro" in that section, and if you place your cursor somewhere in that section, SeaMonkey will suddenly discover them. And searches continue to work until your cursor passes the heading, "어… 안습" about 80% of the way down (the article before "Word of the day: 안구테러 ~ eye ball terror"), whereupon they start to fail again.

Weird, eh? It's as if they are separate documents that cannot be searched simultaneously, even though they appear to be on the same page.

Any idea what's going on?
