> I fucking hate virtual scrolling. Twitter is particularly bad at this - it breaks search. Not just twitter! Discourse has this "feature" too, breaking search as well. They "helpfully" provide overrides to the built-in search function, but it's a) restricted and b) not what I want. It's not what I want because it does NOT search inside the topic only but inside the whole website. It's restricted because I can't search for some word/phrase within a post. My browser also allows me to highlight searched phrases, but that requires the browser search to be triggered in the first place. For a while you could circumvent it by pressing / which on Firefox triggers search, but guess what, Discourse "helpfully" redirected it to their broken search as well. It's a disturbing trend that Discourse is being deployed so widely, replacing older, better working, alternatives.
