Description Amir E. Aharoni 2011-03-09 22:26:44 UTC 
Open a page for editing. Search for a string that is found on the page and that has digits. For example, open [[Nordhausen]] for editing and search for the string "1946", which appears there several times. Click "Find next" and you'll receive the message "Your search did not match anything."

The same happens with strings that have both letters and digits, for example "December 2007".
Comment 1 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-03-10 03:30:54 UTC 
This looks like a browser issue.  Can't reproduce on FF3 on Linux.
Comment 2 Amir E. Aharoni 2011-03-10 07:46:21 UTC 
To me it happens in MSIE 8, Chrome 11.0.696.0 (Canary), and Firefox 4.0b12 on XP.
Comment 3 Amir E. Aharoni 2011-03-10 08:11:54 UTC 
... And also Firefox 4.0 RC on XP.
Comment 4 Malafaya 2011-03-11 00:24:59 UTC 
Works fine on FF 3.6.13 on Windows 7.
Comment 5 Amir E. Aharoni 2011-03-11 08:39:35 UTC 
Very strange. I just tried anonymously on a different computer with Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.15 and it did happen.
Comment 6 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-03-11 22:27:03 UTC 
I've noticed it different things happening if I logged in or not, too.  And Chrome on Linux seems to have this all the time.
Comment 7 Roan Kattouw 2011-03-12 10:31:10 UTC 
This may very well be caused by bug 27960
Comment 8 Rob Lanphier 2011-03-14 20:21:35 UTC 
Can anyone other than Amir reproduce this one?  A bunch of us tried to do this and couldn't.
Comment 9 Krinkle 2011-03-14 20:21:54 UTC 
Works for me on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordhausen

Searching for 2007 and replacing with 2008 finds and replaces 5 instances.

Can you try again ? I believe it's been fixed in the mean time.
If it still happends, reopen the bug.
Comment 10 Amir E. Aharoni 2011-03-14 20:27:15 UTC 
I confirm, it's fixed.
