** Describe the feature request below **
Would like the ability to search the currently loaded post. This is not a request to make an API search against the instance, rather, once the post is loaded, this is to search the loaded comments for text. For example, on a thread about movies, there would be the ability to search the thread for a mention of the movie "Jaws". This would operate similar to using ctrl+F on a post in a browser on Lemmy in Windows, which makes no additional http requests during the process.
