Notify page that "find in page" is being used #2858

Description

(Migrating from https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27186)

Some Web apps don't load all their data. This makes "find in page" not work. We should have the browser tell the page that "find in page" is being used, and what is being searched for, so that the page can load in relevant content.

Examples: Google Docs, ACE editor used by GitHub, PDF.js, Discourse.

Currently, those apps intercept ctrl-f keyboard stroke and do their own search, but that means that search does not work well if you invoke it through browser's menu (like on mobile phones).
