Description
In the Claude Code desktop app, using Ctrl+F to search within the page/transcript only matches romaji/ASCII text. Japanese text (hiragana/katakana/kanji) does not appear to be searchable via this in-page search.
Steps to reproduce
- Open a session transcript containing Japanese text
- Press Ctrl+F to open in-page search
- Type a Japanese search term
- No matches are found, even when the term is clearly present in the visible text
- Searching the same content with a romaji/ASCII term works as expected
Expected behavior
Ctrl+F search should match Japanese (and likely other non-ASCII/CJK) text the same way it matches ASCII text.
Environment
- Claude Code desktop app
- OS: Windows 11
