Description

I love working with TiddlyDesktop.

One situation where I feel a //real// browser superior over TiddlyDesktop is, when it comes to large Tiddlers and searching for some key word on the currently visible page.

It would be helpful to have a search function in TiddlyDesktop also.

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point; begin by tracing how TiddlyDesktop renders the currently visible Tiddler and how its desktop window can expose page search. Confirm the expected interaction and scope with maintainers, then verify that searching a large visible Tiddler finds the requested keyword without searching unrelated pages.
