Searching for HTML elements in Chrome DevTools
Google ChromeSearchGoogle Chrome-DevtoolsDeveloper ToolsGoogle Chrome Problem Overview
On this website, there's a div
with the attribute class="item"
. When I clicked F12 to bring up the Developer Tools. I pressed Ctrl + F and typed in class="item"
and no results came back. I also tried Ctrl + Shift + F but nothing returned. Here is a screenshot:
Even if I search for class=
, only text within HTML comments are found. Thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide.

I searched for the XPath of the element instead and it worked:
//*[@class="item"]
Solution 2 - Google Chrome
Late answer but pretty sure .item
would've worked.
Solution 3 - Google Chrome
Search bar only supports string, CSS selectors or XPath selectors.
I recommend you use CSS selectors: [class="item"]

This seems like it might be a bug. You can report it on http://crbug.com.
If you were to search for 'item' you should be able to find the elements that have the class item on them.
Solution 5 - Google Chrome
Dayuloli's fix is a good one, you can also just search for "item"
although that won't work if there are multiple classes on that element.
