Yes, of course. I'm simply describing how it works at the moment.
Anyone
is welcome to change it or submit a feature request so someone else might
change it.
I don't think a feature request should be necessary to correct an
obvious shortcoming. Feature requests should be used for features over
and above normal operation of the browser. The search facility itself
is a feature, but once it's been implemented the fact that it can't
handle some types of pages is a bug (accepting that it can't at
present be expected to find strings generated by javascript).
