To search for a word on any web page, using CTRL F, some of the results are visible and some are not. Example: CTRL F, elephant, 16 results. Arrow down and 1 of 16 shows, then 4 shows, then 11, 14, 15, 16 show. The others are landing somewhere but I can't see them. I assume the word is contained in a link on the page I am searching. But it's no help if you don't know what link contains the search word. Is there any way to get the find function to show all the results? "Highlight all" is selected. Windows 10 This has driven me crazy for years.

Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required) where you notice this behavior?

Are there (i)frames on such a page because content in a frame that is hidden (not scrolled into view) isn't found?
