Description
I think Vimium is great 👍 I use it daily, but Imo, it's lacking in terms of searchability.
My suggestion is adding a :g[lobal] search option possibly coupled with :z, displaying output on some collapsable modal frame, thus preventing modifying the page and still allowing all sorts of contextual search.
Thanks

Research direction
No file or test is identified in the issue. Start by locating the existing :g and :z command handling and the UI entry point for modal frames; done would mean defining and implementing global contextual search whose results appear in a collapsible frame without modifying the page.
