Normally something like this would work, as it would search everything that’s on the web page.

However, Truth uses a concept sometimes called “virtual scrolling”. Basically this means, for a very long list of things like group members, the web app will only put on the web page the items in the list that are currently visible to you. So control F can’t find members further down or up the list, because they technically aren’t on the web page at all until you scroll to them.

It’s done for performance reasons, because otherwise really large lists like this would slow your browser to a crawl.

Edit: lol @ the downvote. Don’t believe me? Try it yourself. Find a very large group, go to the members page, make note of a member name at the top, and then scroll a few screens’ worth down. Then try Ctrl+F to search for the name you noted. It won’t find it.
