Research direction

Update the PDF.js wiki page at https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Viewer-options; start by reviewing the existing viewer options and confirm how the search= argument is used. Done means the page documents the search= option and its purpose for searching PDF content.

Is the feature relevant to the Firefox PDF Viewer?

Yes

Feature description

I was all geared up to file a feature request for an equivalent to the --find=STRING option PDF readers like Okular, Evince, etc. have and then, while accumulating evidence for the "Other PDF viewers" list, I discovered that someone used PDF.js already having search= as an argument for adding it to Chrome's PDF viewer.

Because of this, I now need to use PDF.js from Mozilla Firefox and use that as it does have the ability to search. :/

Please update https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Viewer-options to add it.
