[Proposal] Add Find-in-page Event

If developers could attach an event handler whenever the text content of “Find in page” is applied, this would allow the application to un-hide custom hidden content matching the search.

probably a dupe of #1205.

folks from Chrome had once proposed the openfind event which does what you exactly ask for, and started prototyping… sadly work has stopped (source) and it’s mark as deprecated.

Closing as dup. Thanks @myakura and @bahrus!
