Re: [orca-list] Screen reader find dialog dialog

[Nolan Darilek <nolan thewordnerd info>]

Got it. So am I to assume that it only finds exposed text as visible in 
flat review, as opposed to scraping the DOM for accessible text and 
bumping focus to that? I've actually never used it until someone 
suggested it for finding Discord's new message indicator, then it 
occurred to me that perhaps I was ignoring a powerful feature.


Thanks.
