This seems like a limitation caused by large diffs being loaded incrementally rather than the browser’s Ctrl+F itself. For large PRs, GitHub could provide a dedicated “Search in diff” option that searches the complete changeset, including files that haven't been rendered yet. That would be much more reliable for code review than depending on the browser’s Find feature or opening files individually. |

Body
When viewing a pull request with many files (100+), the browser's Ctrl+F (Find)
function only searches the currently visible/loaded portion of the diff, not the
entire changeset. This makes it impossible to search the full diff.

Expected Behavior:
Environment:
Impact:
Users cannot effectively search large PRs during code review, forcing them to use
CLI tools or filter by individual files instead.
