Starfinder FAQ site usability issues

Hello!

Writing because I've had a long-running issue I can reproduce on multiple systems with the Starfinder FAQ page.

It appears something with the search function breaks the scrolling of the website.

On browsers when it is working appropriately, entering a search operator will state the list of results, alter the coloration of results to highlight the positive entries, and open/collapse categories as necessary, before finally scrolling to the first successful result.

The issue I have observed on multiple browsers is that everything except the scrolling works properly. However, afterward, the scrolling is effectively "stuck" and I cannot navigate away from the search bar, even if I clear the filter and attempt to scroll further. This persists both with the scroll wheel, as well as if i attempt to grab the scroll bar, in which case it performs a "rebounding" effect.

I've replicated this a number of times, but the current examples I have are on:
Windows 10 x64, Chrome 91
Android 11, Firefox 89.1.1

Wanted to chime in and say that I too have found the search function very annoying.

The collapsed categories mean that you can't do a regular Ctrl+F search and find a term. The on-page search form opens the correct categories but doesn't index or scroll to them. You can then do a Ctrl+F and find your term.

So right now it's the worst of both worlds.

tech info:
Firefox 89.0.2
Chrome 94.0.4472.164
