In-page search (e.g., using "Ctrl + s") has been a basic feature in document readers well before browsers, and continues to be an essential feature today.

Web pages that hide content behind "show content" widgets are difficult to search through: users need to toggle "show content" for each item they wish to search. Often, in-page search highlights are hidden; Reddit's atrocious redesign is a serious offender.
