I'm trying to understand how the ctrl+f feature works in chromium. I thought of having a look directly in the source code, but the code is rather large and complex. Does anyone know where the code concerning the ctrl+f feature is?

When writing code in cshtml files, sometimes intellisense goes haywire and starts writing text several lines above where I am actually typing. At the moment it seems to be limited to when I hit the tab key to let it finish a property name which isn't too bad because I can just not do that. However, it also seems to happen at other times like just when I type #Model and then press a period it might write the word Model in some other part of the code file.
Anyone know how to correct this?
This would probably fit better as a VS Feedback item, but since this is the only place I have found someone referencing the same issue, I thought I would add some confirmation. I do not have a solution, only more examples to add. This issue has been annoying me for months! It seems to happen most often when typing razor code inside of JavaScript, especially inside of a quoted string.
Here is an example from a test project, where I am attempting to put a reference to a model field into a JavaScript string. Notice that I click tab a couple times and it doesn't actually insert the intellisense result at the point I am typing. But when I scroll down you can see it inserted it randomly in another spot pretty far away!
I did also try to remove the hidden .vs folder, bin/, and obj/ and could still reliably reproduce the issue after restarting Visual Studio. Currently on 1 before the latest (16.9.4). I did notice that if I re-open this cshtml file, wait until the file seems to be fully loaded (all the red errors go away), I also reliably get an ArgumentException that occurs as I begin typing. Then when I scroll down I already see that Model has been randomly inserted in another spot in the code.
I'm going to try updating to latest (16.9.5), and starting in Safe Mode to skip loading all 3rd-party libraries, and see if the issue is still reproducible, in case it is caused by one of the handful of extensions I am currently using.
Edit: Well same issue with 16.9.5. Trying to use Safe Mode is a no go, it makes the intellisense and syntax coloring completely disabled for .cshtml files.
I've been through approximately 2/3 of all the vscode extensions but haven't found what I'm looking for yet.
I'm looking for a vscode extension like live server that highlights the portion of the browser you're working on in vscode. For example: if I click on or highlight a p tag it highlights the portion of the browser and puts a highlighted border around the same paragraph in the browser and while I'm typing it automatically updates as I type.
I'm not sure if you will be able to find something exactly what you are looking for. THe closest you can get, I believe, is DevTools for Chrome extension, which is just devtools put into the editor window, for highlighting DOM elements etc.; and Debugger for Chrome, for, well, debugging scripts (breakpoints etc., which sadly don't work in the first one; while at the same time the second doesn't deal with DOM at all I think).
So I need to have a search box search through text on a web page and show relevant searches. I have no clue how to do this and didn't find anything online on how to. So if I have a search box on www.example.com/index.html, and and user enters text into it, then it searches the text on www.example.com/example.html and displays the result. Finally just an FIY it needs to be in HTML. Thanks for any help in advanced!
Well, you would need to know javascript (and probably php) to do that properly, which your request sounds like you do not.
If you need to add a search engine without knowing javascript/php, then your best bet is probably to look into something like Google's Custom Search - https://support.google.com/customsearch/answer/2630969?hl=en
Setting it up sounds simple enough for someone who doesn't understand what the code is actually doing - all copy and paste. Don't do that with any old script on the web, though. There's plenty of dodgy ones out there!
There is an online dictionary I would like to add to my search engine list in Google Chrome. The problem is, the website in question does not show the form used in the address bar, so I can't just substitute the search term with %s in Chrome like other search engines.
I know barely anything about developing web pages or web scripting languages, so I'm not even entirely sure that POST is the correct term for what is going on here.
Here is the website I am talking about. If you type a word in the English-Basque box and, "dog" for example, and hit Search, it just shows http://www1.euskadi.net/morris/resultado.asp, obviously not containing "dog". I've inspected the sources of both the HTML page of the first link and the ASP page of the results page, but don't see anything blindingly obvious, but then again I don't really know what I'm looking for.
I use this dictionary a lot, so being able to add it to Chrome and use a simple keyword for it, I can just use the keyword and a search term in the omnibar instead of having to load the page every time, saving much time. :)
If anyone can point me in the right direction for how to figure this out, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks!
Someone else seems to have found a workaround for your problem;
It consists of writing a FORM using javascript instead of a URL in Chrome.
A cleaner alternative would be to write a proxy page; a page that you write in asp/php/whatever that can take querystring parameters coming in, and then POST these parameters to the euskadi.net pages, returning the results.
This will require you to have a server or hosted page somewhere online though.
I see sfdocready in some footers of pages I have been working on. I cannot find anything about this?
For example:
<sfdocready id="sfDocReady"></sfdocready>
Thanks!
This has to do with Superfish (the <sfdocready> and <sfmsg> tags).
I just determined what was doing it in my case. Using Safari, I have (well, had, it's gone now for this bizarre behavior) the Awesome Screenshot extension installed. There is a checkbox in its settings called "Enable similar product search powered by Superfish" which looks for images on the page and uses them as search parameters to provide comparison shopping deals for you.
In its defense it did prompt me if I wanted to see price comparisons, but it did so on Amazon in a way that actually looked like the prompt came from Amazon.
To the answer above me about Firefox inserting it when you save the document, that's only because an extension or some JavaScript inserted it first, it has nothing specific to do with Firefox. It also has nothing to do with Wordpress.
Somewhat sleazy stuff, imo.
This looks like it's got something to do with Wordpress themes.
I have, an assumption, that this tag means: "safe document is ready", so something is running only after whole document has been loaded. But what exectly does it mean and how does it work, it`s a big question.
Near this tag I have also also often seen <sfmsg> tag.
This tag is inserted by Firefox when you save the page as an HTML document.
I issued this problem yesterday. I have firefox with a plugin named Awesome Screenshot. In order to solve this you need:
Click over the Awesome Screenshot
Select options
UNCHECK/DISABLE the option: "Enable similar product search powered by Superfish"
And that is all!
