# Search in code broken

 * When you need to find something in a large CSS or JS file, it is helpful to be
   able to search. Unfortunately, the regular html find in page doesn’t work in 
   this plugin, and the custom one no longer appears when I use the key stroke Ctrl-
   F. This means I have to always copy my code into another editor, edit it, and
   paste the whole thing back in. This is tedious.
 * Any ideas why this stopped working?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsearch-in-code-broken%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Searching in the page’s regular HTML doesn’t work because the editor has a built
   in search functionality.
 * Please make sure the editor is selected (click somewhere on the text in the editor,
   so the cursor is blinking in the editor), then use the Ctrl + F combination to
   search in the editor. Let me know if this doesn’t work.

 * Right, the editor search functionality isn’t working right now. That was what
   I was trying to get help with.
 * This is me letting you know again that this doesn’t work 🙂

 * On our side the editor’s search functionality works well.
 * What is your plugin’s and WP version? Can you make a screenshot of the Edit Custom
   Code page along with the browser’s console open, so I can see if there are any
   JavaScript errors?
