Description

Can we do anything to make it easier for users to implement replacement find-in-page (ctrl+f) that supports virtual-scroll. We can't detect native browser ctrl+f, but we may be able to make it easier for users who plan to implement their own ctrl+f replacement.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reading the virtual-scroll component and its public API, then investigate how a replacement find-in-page implementation could interact with virtualized content. Done requires an agreed, documented design or API that makes this interaction easier for users.
