CTRL-F search on History page --- does not find results in body

Reported by nmz...@gmail.com, Aug 31 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/59.0.3071.109 Chrome/59.0.3071.109 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. CTRL-H
2. search something that produces many results (my case was "github" the item I was looking for was the 67th result)
2. CTRL-F
3. <search something in the title of the page of interest>
4. find no results for page titles arond i.e. row 67 of the search results

What is the expected behavior?
tell me item 67 is a result, because the CTRL-F keyword was in the title of the page

What went wrong?
it didn't show me the search result which was the 67th one... I later clicked the result and it was then showing up in today's results for my search, but the CTRL-F menu then only showed 1 result, today's, even though the older one, now a few lines later in the list (of 150 results) was still visible.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 59.0.3071.109  Channel: stable
OS Version: Ubuntu
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 25.0 r0

This is how the new material design pages for large lists work: only a small portion is present in the page so you have to use the search input field in the page itself (it's at the top of the page), which will perform a proper query internally.

I believe the problem was reported more than once on this bug tracker, which certainly means the new behavior could be improved, but if I remember correctly, the developers already know that, there's just no easy solution.
