Expected results

  1. The user can locate all four instances of the character string "yyyyy".
  2. When the user highlights the test heading "Test highlight heading", the user can locate the next instance of the character string "yyyyy', which is the third instance of "yyyyy" in the test rendered text.
  3. When there is a match, the user agent moves the viewport so that the character string "yyyyy" is within the viewport.
  4. When there is a match, the user agent allows the user to search for the next instance of "yyyyy" from the location of the match.
  5. When the user searches for the character string "zzzzz", the user agent should alert the user there is no match.
  6. After locating all four instances of the string "yyyyy" in the test rendered text, the user agent should alert the user when the search reaches the end of the test rendered text.
  7. After locating all four instances of the string "yyyyy" in the test rendered text, the user agent should alert the user prior to any wrapping. A wrapping search is one that restarts automatically at the beginning of content once the end of content has been reached.
