FWIW I hate how the discourse forum software not only does infinite scroll but then also hijacks Ctrl-F to go into its internal search utility. I will be very displeased if more websites follow this pattern.
- jhanschoo 6y agoI felt that this was close to optimal UX under the limitation of not being able to simultaneously render a lot of text. What would you have preferred?
- mikepurvis 6y agoTo be honest, I'm not sure. Maybe hijacking Ctrl-F is the right thing to do here, but I wish that what it hijacks me to would be closer in behaviour to what the native browser find-in-page functionality is. Instead it whisks me off to a totally separate SERP with a list of post snippets totally void of their surrounding context, when typically the whole point of doing a find-in-page is not to just find a result, but to find information like "how many of these are there here, how are they clustered, and what kind of stuff is around them?"
