Hm, I'm able to load this document and search it willy-nilly. Does the spin happen as soon as you hit ⌘F?

Spinning started immediately after hitting Cmd-F. But then a day later, it stopped. (Maybe due to a macOS/Safari update?)
Not the first time WebKit got its knickers in a twist.

And unfortunately a lot of Marked's functionality relies on the deprecated version of WebKit, and the search is entirely JavaScript based. The combination seems to lead to some race conditions and leaks that I've had a hard time working around. 90% of the time it functions fine, but then 10% of the time performance suffers. I'm working on pretty massive rewrite right now, but getting away from WebView has been quite difficult. WKWebview just doesn't have a complete set of APIs yet.
