@ryanmusante could you share some more information with us? Which website are you visiting where you're seeing this happen?

[ryanmusante]

Bug seemed only present for sites using forum softwares: PHPBB / Discourse.
It is working without problems with beta.

[kjozwiak]

@ryanmusante, could it be possible that the data at the bottom still hasn't been loaded/rendered, hence the search functionality not finding it? If you have the entire page/thread loaded and searching isn't working, that's definitely still an issue that we'll need to fix.

[ryanmusante]

@kjozwiak I'm still testing with the latest git branch and it seems to be working good now. I'll keep posted on any changes

[kjozwiak]

Awesome! Thanks @ryanmusante, much appreciated!

[bsclifton]

@ryanmusante is this still happening on our latest build?

[ryanmusante]

@bsclifton Problems seems to be fixed from latest release.
