In FishEye, when you view an annotated view of a file, you cannot Ctrl+F (search) in your browser to find a string. You must first scroll to the bottom to engage the lazy loading of the rest of the content of the file.

It would be nice that if the keypress of Ctrl+F or F3 is detected, the full file is downloaded as if you had scrolled to the bottom. We use the FishEye search to narrow in on a particular file, but often times the files are large and we want to jump to the match so that is why we'd use browser search. And the links in the search results don't give you a line number, or a link directly to the match in the file (maybe thats an option).

I had assumed it wouldn't be ground breaking, considering all new key shortcuts you guys are adding to the Atlassian products across the board.

Maybe another suggestion would be to make it a User Preference, allow people to specify if they want lazy loading of annotated files (obviously defaulted to yes). And then if they have it on because they know they want to search, put one of those little banners you guys display at the top when you want to suggest something, i.e. "You could speed up your load times by enabling lazy loading."

Another reasonable compromise would be to give users an action that will force loading to complete rather than trying to jockey the browser UI to load all of the data.

Originally submitted as a support request (FSH-4740) but it was suggested to submit to public forum to see if it would garner other support.
