Web Editor Search Improvements

What's New

We rebuilt the new web editor search based on inspector feedback. It now works much more like the original search: it opens as a pop-up, and picking a result takes you straight to that comment.

Why It Matters

Find and jump to the comment you need faster, without leaving the report you're working in.

Details

Pop-up search:
Search opens over the report instead of taking over the screen.
Go straight to the comment:
Picking a result opens that comment in the editor. No extra drawer or trip to the report preview.
"Search this item" is back:
Included is a setting to use the keyboard shortcut ⌘F (Mac) or Ctrl+F (Windows) to access per-item search instead of the browser search.
Familiar result order:
Results show in the same order as the original search by default.
Filters and sorting:
Still available, just tucked out of the way.
3-letter minimum:
Results appear once you type 3 letters, same as the original search.

Note:

To use your browser's own Find instead, click the ⋯ menu next to "Search this item" and turn off "Use ⌘F for this item's search."
