Add Find in Page to Code #4134
-
|
When viewing code, it is often helpful to to have the "Find in Page" feature from the browser to find a particular function or section of code. One use case is when looking to quickly answer a question or comment that was asked in a Discord server. A quick look at that section of code, when the general file and keywords are known, in the context of the question or comment can help provide the appropriate answer, or reveal a mistake that warrants opening a ticket. It is therefore requested to add the "Find in Page" feature to the GitHub for Android/iOS apps when viewing the source of a code file |

Thanks for creating this great app! That said, I find it very surprising that a core functionality as important as being able to search code is still missing after two years. It's just not "find in page". It's also not possible to use code search in general in the current Android app AFAICT. This together with adding zoom in/out and improving scroll behavior in code view would increase the usability of this app a lot. |

As it is, i try to avoid the app if i can just to be able to search... The lack of it is enough motivation to basically uninstall... |

Same. But, so far I've only blocked the redirecting when we browse to |
