Search within page not obviously available #303

I'd like to be able to command-F (on a mac) search for text on a page, not just search for tiddlers with text. Some of my tiddlers are long and I need to find text inside of them once I've found that they exist and have the text. If this is possible it's not obvious to me how I could do it.

Hi @ejheil this is a duplicate of #21 and #126. I do appreciate that find-in-page would be useful. It is in a category of features that are offered by browsers but not supported by the nw.js framework that we use, including print and page zoom. Those features are a lot of work, and we would end up with something that was not as smooth as a real browser, which makes the work rather an uphill slog.

Thanks, sorry for the duplicate issue, I should have searched first. I thought the issue might just be an oversight with respect to key bindings -- it's disappointing to learn that it's a fundamental problem with the underlying platform. Oh well.
