@johnd,
Thank you for reaching out. Testing on my end I can’t seem to reproduce the behavior. Or there’s a miscommunication on how the Find function operates. Observe the recording below:
Note that the first search (after cmd/ctrl+f)requires that I enter search terms, and hit Enter to run the operation. After going to the next page, the Find box disappears. Hitting cmd/ctrl+f again displays the box with my previous search term still filled in the text box.
This is where the potential for confusion is – find must be run explicitly on a per-page basis (this behavior is the same in most chromium-based browsers). So once on the second page, even though there is text loaded in the Find box, the operation itself hasn’t been run yet.
Solution: on the second page, after pressing cmd/ctrl+f, hit Enter.
Shouldn’t the down triangle or up triangle act as an enter? That’s the way it acts in Firefox. Anyhow, I just tried it in Chrome and it acts same as Brave. Therefore, I guess it is not a bug then.
Sorry, would be nice if the up or down triangles acted like a enter-next though.
