The problem wasn’t that the line I wanted wasn’t on the page—it’s that the whole document wasn’t being rendered at once, so my browser’s builtin search bar just couldn’t find it.

I feel like this has been the case for a while now. Luckily they offer other search tools so its a gotcha that you only have to hit once.

In edit mode they capture the crtl-f keystrokes and offer their own search and replace tool. An argument could be made that they should offer a custom search tool for read mode if they are going to break the browsers built in tooling.

I use the uwp on Xbox and I’m glad it exists but its a stale project at the moment.

Status update: The VLC for WinRT app is retired (deprecated), there is no more development being done on it. We advice you to use the classic VLC app instead. For UWP support in your LibVLC apps, have a look at libvlcsharp.
