I have a DOM on the page:

<div id="SearchContainer"><input type="text" value /><input type="text" value/></div>

.

I use

$("#SearchContainer").find('input[type="text"][value!=""]')

to try select the input object which value is not empty.

in jquery 1.7, I run the code and type some text string into textbox, and run the jquery code, it return the input object which I had typed.

in jquery 1.9.1/2.0, do the same job as above, but it doesn't return the input object.

*I have not test other version of jQuery.
