Troubleshooting

Read the following checks to determine whether a behavior you've noticed is a bug or actually caused by challenging website design.

Highlighter appears in the wrong location

Scenario 1: You start searching for a word and you can see the green highlighter ring, but not the normal green text selection for your result.

In this case, it's likely due to a challenging webpage and not a bug. The actual text might not be visible.

Note

For technically experienced users: The text might be inside an element such as a textbox with height: 0px or similar styles. In such cases, the browser’s native Find-in-Page feature can still locate the word, but it cannot properly display the selection.

Scenario 2: You start searching for a word and you do not see the green highlighter ring, but you do see the normal green text selection.

This is very likely a bug.
However, please ensure that the result is not inside a textbox or input field, as FineFind cannot work with results inside these elements. (See the "Limitations" section for more details.)
If the result is not inside one of these elements, please open a new issue on Codeberg!

Scenario 3: Neither the green text selection nor the green highlighter ring appears.

In this case, it’s almost certainly not related to FineFind, but caused by broken or highly unconventional website code.
