iceweasel does not search in text from <select> tags - the value of the
option-subtags .

p.ex. see here:  [1]
or for why it is actually worth implementing this, see these filters [2]

Forget that last part, it appears the CC list in the bugzilla page is
not a select. At least until you hit a link.

Interestingly, this is a feature that was implemented a long time ago.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252371

And even more interestingly, it does work, for example, on the bugzilla
page I just linked. It would be interesting to see why it doesn't on the
w3schools.com sample.
