Verify canary release

• I verified that the issue exists in the latest Turborepo canary release.

Link to code that reproduces this issue

pnpm dlx create-turbo@latest --example kitchen-sink

Which canary version will you have in your reproduction?

2.4.4

Enviroment information

CLI:
   Version: 2.4.4
   Daemon status: Running
   Package manager: pnpm

Platform:
   Architecture: aarch64
   Operating system: macos
   WSL: false
   Available memory (MB): 12802
   Available CPU cores: 10

Environment:
   CI: None
   Terminal (TERM): xterm-256color
   Terminal program (TERM_PROGRAM): vscode
   Terminal program version (TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION): 0.46.10
   Shell (SHELL): /bin/zsh
   stdin: false

Expected behavior

When searching inside terminal window via ( command + F for mac ) it normally scrolls up to mark the searched text. This also works as expected with 'stream' ui.

Actual behavior

While using tui ui, it can only find if text is visible inside the terminal window.

It finds the remix vite:dev text as expected

But when i scroll down and search again, it can not find. ( It should've scroll up )

To Reproduce

You can use any application which has a longer terminal output than terminal size:

Setup kitchen-sink example using Turborepo cli
pnpm dlx create-turbo@latest --example kitchen-sink

Make sure "ui": "tui" in turbo.json ( which is default )

Run blog application ( which has longer terminal output )
npx turbo dev -F blog

Scroll down inside terminal and search for content above.

Additional context

I often need to search for log patterns to check the application's state, but when using TUI, I can't be certain whether the log exists.

I tested this behavior against the latest canary release, but the issue still persists.

Due to how task logs are rendered we won't be able to make native search functionality provided by your terminal emulator work.

Implementing our own log searching functionality in the TUI is probably the only way.

I understand. Should we create a feature request issue so anyone interested can take it on?
