Why is it that DOM search only searches visible objects in the DOM
tab? I'm trying to search for a variable, which I know is buried deep
somewhere. To find it I would need to expand every single object
within the top-level object which I know the variable is in. What is
the point of DOM search if it doesn't search the ENTIRE DOM?

I get it now. The DOM search is searching visible text in the DOM tab
not the DOM itself.
Suggestion: Add an "Expand All" button. Although I suspect that would
crash FF or FB or both.
