Explainer https://github.com/Igalia/explainers/blob/main/css/find-in-page/README.md Specification https://drafts.csswg.org/css-pseudo-4/#selectordef-search-text Design docs https://github.com/Igalia/explainers/blob/main/css/find-in-page/README.md Summary Exposes find-in-page search results to authors as a highlight pseudo-element, like selections and spelling errors. This allows authors to change the foreground and background colors or add text decorations, which can be especially useful if the UA defaults have insufficient contrast with the page colors or are otherwise unsuitable. Blink component Blink>CSS Search tags search TAG review None TAG review status Pending Risks Interoperability and Compatibility The feature is in the CSS Pseudo spec and there are no open issues. The behavior is designed to be implementable in Firefox and Chrome, but is unlikely to be viable in Safari due to highly customize UI for find-in-page. The spec is explicit that browsers may choose not to implement this feature provided @supports information is correct. The Safari behavior is so different that developers are unlikely to believe their styling would apply there. Gecko: Under consideration Need to file request for comment. WebKit: No signal Will file a request for position, but in spec conversations were neutral with no expectation of implementing it themselves. Web developers: Positive Developers wishing to avoid conflicts with the find-in-page colors and their page styles have requested this feature. Someone directly asks for CSS styling of find-in-page:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50309703/css-for-browsers-find-in-page Another direct question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18666075/how-to-style-detect-highlighted-boxes-generated-from-browser-native-search-in-pa A developer wants to hide find-in-page results: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77458310/confuse-browsers-in-built-find-in-page-feature) and could do so by styling them as transparent Other signals: Ergonomics None. Activation There is no way to polyfill this. There is no real challenge to adopting beyond awareness that the feature exists, and we will be producing blog postings and other social media evangelization. Security There is no security risk. The CSS styling is available regardless of whether the text is search for or not, so user find-in-page queries cannot be seen by script. WebView application risks Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications? None Goals for experimentation Ongoing technical constraints None Debuggability There is no security risk. The CSS styling is available regardless of whether the text is search for or not, so user find-in-page queries cannot be seen by script. Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)? Yes All platforms support find-in-page and could use CSS styling to improve legibility on some sites. Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests? No Testing is in wpt_internal tests due to a lack of wpt support for adding find-in-page markers. third_party/blink/web_tests/wpt_internal/css/css-pseudo/search-text-* DevTrial instructions https://github.com/Igalia/explainers/blob/main/css/find-in-page/README.md Flag name on about://flags Experimental Web Platform Features Finch feature name SearchTextHighlightPseudo Requires code in //chrome?
