Huh?

<https://arnowelzel.de/samples/find.html>

And to search for something there:

<https://arnowelzel.de/samples/find.html?find=voluptua>

This is just a rough "quick & dirty" example and uses window.find() and
URLSearchParams(). This is NOT standard and may NOT work with every
browser. It works for me with Firefox 79.0 and should also work with
most Chrome based browsers.

However - I would *not* recommend this for production. And for
highlighting *every* found word, adding next/prev etc. you need to
create your own script.
