Search Bar (Ctrl+f) breaks on page change

Reported by miliw...@gmail.com, Jan 12 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open Search Bar (Ctrl+f)
2. Enter text to search for
3. Click on a hyperlink
4. Open Search Bar again (Ctrl+f)

What is the expected behavior?
The search bar should keep the same text that was used on the last page, and when opened should search for that text on the new page, hi-lighting occurrences.

What went wrong?
The search bar functionality breaks on page change. The text from the last search on the previous page is saved, but the search will not function. Clicking the arrows does nothing. The only way to perform a search (for a new text string or the same one) is to delete the saved text and re-type it every time. This is wrong.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 55.0.2883.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

At the very least, if the search functionality cannot automatically search for the saved text when you open it, you should then just clear out the saved text. The only point in saving the text is so you can automatically begin a search for the same string. Having to delete and then type back in what you just deleted is very frustrating.

This is a non-regression issue and marking it as untriaged.

Even more annoying is when you add some content into page. E.g.:

I am searching something on facebook or linkedIn. Nothing is found (that's Ok) but I scroll down so more and more content is loaded. When there is match in newly loaded content nothing will happen. Not even after F3 is pressed or mouse clicked in search bar. To make search work again I need to delete text from search bar and write it again.
I think the behavior described ("Opening the find bar does not automatically execute the query") is intentional.

To reissue the same query without changing the text, simply hit Enter in the find bar.

Alternatively, hit CTRL+G to open the Find Bar and issue the query, advancing to the first match.
