After upgrade to 9.0.0, "search" box is missing in text file editor

[ownclouduser42]

Steps to reproduce

1. Upgrade from any 8.x version to 9.0
2. Create a text file
3. Click the text file to open the text editor
4. Observe the missing "search" box to search within the text file.

Expected behaviour

When opening a text file to edit from the web interface, there should be a search box to find within the contents, since ownCloud is deliberately breaking the in-browser search functionality (CTRL-F for all major browsers).

Actual behaviour

No search box, and CTRL-F still does not work.

da problem persists
after updating of OC 9.00 to 9.01

any ideas what I might do wrong?

[kralizeck]

Same problem after updated from 8.2.5 (search works) to 9.0.2.

does it works for anyone with OC 9?

[TheGrave-zz]

Still broken in 9.1.0. More annoying how no developer takes responsibility FOR HALF AN YEAR to even check the broken feature.

[kralizeck]

It's a pity.
First, in my opinion, don't complain unless you had paid for enterprise edition. Be grateful for this useful and powerful FREE software.
Second, as a workaround, Ctrl+G works for search with Firefox (only one time) and Chrome (multiple times). Doesn't tested with IE or Edge.
It is a coarse patch, but do the job.

[TheGrave-zz]

And that's the kind of attitude that makes us not recommend the enterprise version to anyone - paying more attention to bug reports from paid customers. This can be observed from multiple other tickets too. For comparison I can give you Group Office - I always get adequate responses by their support team for bug reports in the forums even though I don't use the paid version and I don't have access to their ticketing system.

Anyway, Ctrl+G (and Ctrl+F) in Firefox and Chromium (tested on Win 7) achieve the same nothing - searching only in the currently visible part of the text document.
