element.find_by_text searches whole dom

[jaraco]

When trying to do a contextual search for text, the result returned includes all matching text for the whole DOM instead of just those nodes that are children of the contextual node.

I believe the issue lies here.

The //* means all nodes in dom. It should be .//* to mean all child nodes.

@jaraco this line is the browser.find_by_text and in this case the code is right. I believe that the bug is here in the element.find_by_text:

splinter/splinter/driver/webdriver/__init__.py

Line 618 in ed21fb5

selector = '//*[text()="%s"]' % text

Yes. That makes sense.
