Searching for HTML elements in Chrome DevTools

Google 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"]

Solution 4 - Google Chrome

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.
