Text search doesn't work in "See all cookies and site data"

Reported by filippo....@geopal-solutions.com, Aug 31

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3440.106 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Navigate to Settings > Advanced > Content Settings > Cookies > See all cookies and site data
2. Press CTRL+F or similar to search
3. Type the name of a domain further down the list

What is the expected behavior?
It should find the domain throughout all the list, like it finds text in every other page.

What went wrong?
In most cases it just finds nothing. When showing results, the matches would appear to be the ones in the currently visible area of the screen.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 68.0.3440.106  Channel: stable

Also happens on the Manage search engines page: chrome://settings/searchEngines?search=manage

I have 25 pages of search engines (discovered by OpenSearch, presumably - I didn't add them). Searching for Wikipedia, I get zero results until I scroll past weather.com, roughly.

This is expect
dpa, this is not a duplicate of the linked issue. That issue is about using the settings search to find sections of the settings UI, while this issue is about searching through long lists in specific sections.

@lx45803: I unlinked the issues since you are right that these are different. Still though, the issue you are describing is happening because the built-in "find in page" browser search does not work well with virtual lists. For that reason you should use the dedicated search box (see screenshot), which should work.
