Window: find() method

Non-standard: This feature is not standardized. We do not recommend using non-standard features in production, as they have limited browser support, and may change or be removed. However, they can be a suitable alternative in specific cases where no standard option exists.

Note: Support for Window.find() might change in future versions of Gecko. See Firefox bug 672395.

The Window.find() method finds a string in a window sequentially.
