Find Text Validation Rule - Passing on Hidden text

I've created a web test using the Find Text Validation rule.

Unexpectedly, the validation "passed" on text that was hidden in the meta data and not displayed on the web page.

Is this the way it was designed to work or is this a defect that needs to be reported to Microsoft ?

If this is the way it was designed to work - shouldn't there be some indicator as to what level you are using the Find Text command (i.e. on hidden text, displayed text , or for both ?)

This is the way that it was intended to work. The rule looks at the entire response.

Where is the text that you want to verify? You could always write a custom rule to verify exactly what you want. Check out this help link for how that would work: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182556.aspx
