Highlight all found texts with search?

I am fairly new to Opera and moved over from Vivaldi (which was great, but started to acting up, crashing, etc. so I gave up on it) and one thing I miss is the "highlight all found texts" when searching in a page.

I search a lot of logs in the browser and it's really useful if all found instances are highlighted, and the "active" found text is a bit brighter while all other found instances of the text has a highlight which is a bit dimmer.

Is that some feature planned (or exists?) in Opera, or are there any addons providing the feature?

Have you tried to press Ctrl+F (or just dot, if you have advanced keyboard shortuts enabled) and enter some text into search box? For me this highlights all occurences, active one is most visible.

It would seem that the text I was searching in (AWS Console Cloudwatch logs) is not working with multiple highlights. Other pages do though so this problem is isolated to Cloudwatch logs only it seems...

Does it work in other [Chromium based] browsers (Chrome or Edge)? If yes, then maybe you should report an issue to Opera. If not, then ask on Chrome (or Chromium) forums.

@donq Yes, works fine in Firefox and Vivaldi... I'll collect the data/screen captures and open an issue for it!
Thanks for the inputs!

I specifically asked for Chrome or Edge - Firefox uses different engine, Vivaldi is too heavily customized.
But even if this is Chromium engine problem, reporting it to Opera is OK anyway
