-  <h3>Text search APIs</h3> <!-- window.find() -->
 
-  <p class="critical">This legacy API is not very interoperably
-  implemented, and has a number of design problems (such as having six
-  boolean arguments in a row, giving the ability to expose a UA
-  dialog, affecting the selection when successful, etc). We may just
-  drop it instead.</p>
-
-  <!-- use case seems to be to just have an API that allows scripts to
-  search for text, then manipulate it (e.g. execCommand).
-  Unfortunately it currently destroys the selection to do so (though I
-  guess you can save it and restore it). We could provide an API for
-  this instead, but it would require changes to execCommand() to work
-  on ranges rather than the selection (probably needed anyway, but not
-  being worked on as of now) -->

-  <!-- notes:
-
-   if first argument is '', gecko throws a dialog. webkit does not.
-
-   aCaseSensitive, if true, matches case.
-   Webkit: If false, even if the search string is the equivalent of c&aring;t, it'll still match "cat".
-   Gecko: some sort of unicode case-insensitive (aring matches Aring)
-
-   search starts from the last place the user placed the invisible cursor
-
-   once find() has selected text in a text field, it acts as if the cursor jumps back to the top of the page
-
-   aWholeWord has no effect.
-
-   Gecko: aWrapAround has no effect.
-   WebKit: aWrapAround works by wrapping around at the bottom of the page (top if going backwards).
-
-   Gecko: searches iframes if aSearchInFrames is set
-   WebKit: doesn't search iframes; aSearchInFrames has no effect.
-
-   Gecko: aShowDialog works
-   Webkit: does not
-
-   Gecko: doesn't work on display:none iframes. (works fine in webkit)
-   WebKit: doesn't work before body.onload has fired or some such (works fine in gecko)
