Description

I don't see where the "correct" place to ask about features or help or support etc. So anyway, here is:

How can I initiate a search that will continue scrolling the page until the text is found or load the infinite scrolling page until it is located?
So the page is dynamic and loads more content, e.g. a list of videos on Facebook watch for example, looking for a certain title.

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point, so first clarify the intended search behavior and supported dynamic pages. Done would mean a defined way to search content that loads through infinite scrolling, with its behavior verified on an example such as Facebook Watch.
