Safari: search producing unpredictable results

safarisearch

I've observed something weird with Safari search. The search is unable to find words that are obviously present.

For example, I went to this page. I know that the phrase 'lincRNA' is present on the page, therefore I expect to be able to search for 'RNA' (which works), 'lincRNA' (which works) and 'ncRNA' (which fails).

Does anyone else have the same experience? Are you able to reproduce this?

Thanks,

Paul

I've just discovered a hidden feature in Safari search that solves my problem. The attached picture shows the solution.

Safari can search both for instances 'containing' the query or those that 'start with' the query. I imagine the default is 'starts with', which is why I raised the above question.
