Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.101 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open any webpage containing text with the letters v and w (case does not matter). 2. Open page search (ctrl+f or top right menu) 3. Type in the letter V or W (case does not matter), or any word containing the letters that appear on the page written wi What is the expected behavior? If V is typed, only letters V should be highlighted, same with W. If "wow" is searched, "wow" should be highlighted, but "vow" should not be. What went wrong? The search treats V and W as the same characters, so searching for V or W highlights all occurrences of both letters, and for example, searching "wow" highlights both "wow" and "vow" (or any other word where V/W appears in the same spot) Did this work before? No Chrome version: 60.0.3112.101 Channel: stable OS Version: 6.3 Flash Version: This is less of a nuisance when working on actual English text, but the problems becomes fairly serious when, for example, trying to navigate any sort of program output file or directory listing where the strings of characters do not form any sensible words and a single character can make a significant difference.

Yes, I tried it on latest version of canary, clean as possible, and the issue still persists. However, I noticed one more thing required to trigger the bug, after an acquaintance of mine wondered if it could have something to do with localization. My system language is Finnish, and by default, Chrome uses Finnish too. If I change Chrome display language to English, the problematic behavior does not happen. I haven't tested any other languages so far, but for now, I'd update repro steps as: 1. Set Chrome display language as Finnish 2. Open any page containing letters V and W 3. Open page search (ctrl+f or top right menu) 4. Type in the letter V or W (or similar words containing those letters in same positions, like "wow" and "vow") Attached are screenshots of searching this page for "v" in latest canary, with Finnish and English display language respectively, Finnish showing the problem and English behaving as expected.

Tested the issue using #60.0.3112.101 on Win 10 and was unable to reproduce the issue. Observed V only when searched for V and Observed W only when searched for W. Please find the screen cast for the reference. Can someone from UI>Browser>FindInPage team please look into this issue. Thanks!!

Sandeepkumars, please re-read updated reproduction steps from the third comment, as I can't edit the original report and it contains incomplete instructions. Your screencast shows that your chrome display language is in English, while I have specifically had this bug only happen when language is set to Finnish. Thank you for your support.

Tested on Chrome Stable #60.0.3112.113, Canary #62.0.3199.0 on Windows 7, Ubuntu 14.04, Mac 10.12.6 and able to reproduce the issue. This is a non-regression issue and able to reproduce from M-50 #50.0.2624.0. Marking it as untriaged so that issue gets addressed. Attached the screenshot for reference. Thanks.
