Is not possible to do simple nor regex text search in web text edit areas

[frank82vt]

Bug Description

After some tests (see steps to reproduce) looks like find+|Regex Find-in-Page Tool chrome addon cant do simple nor regex search inside any web text edit areas. Note that chrome text find function actually can search text inside web text edit areas, so find+ should do that too considering its chrrome addon description [1]. Its important that find+ can do searches inside web edit areas in order users can search and edit code in such placees.

Steps to Reproduce

Procedure 1

• Open any wikipedia page e.g Wikipedia:Sandbox [2], edit source, the wikipedia source editor [3] for wikipedia:sandbox page its opened
• write a text in the source editor edit area, for example "test text!!!"
• run find+ chrome addon, write a query like: "test text", it give no results in source editor edit area.
• write a regex query like: test.*, it give no results in source editor edit area

Procedure 2

• Open github new issue page [4],
• by default some text already exists in the edit area, for example "issue"
• run find+ chrome addon, write a query like: "issue", it give no results in the edit area.
• write a regex query like: issue.*, it give no results in edit area

Tasks

• Allow find+ addon to do simple and regex search inside any web text edit areas. specially i hope the problem get solved in the wikipedia source editor edit area, that is by the way, where i found the problem the first time.
