Description

Describe the feature/enhancement you need

I have a report that is loaded in chunks.

If the user opens the Find popup quickly before all the data is loaded and searches for something, I want to programmatically refresh the search results.

The scenario/use case where you would use this feature

How important is this request to you?

Nice to have. There are other ways to tackle this, but having official API support would be beneficial.

Suggested implementation

add API like Refresh(). It's possible that the FindNext API is intended to refresh the results when called in which case great, though that API is currently broken: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/5060
