Often those custom search implementations are there because the "page" you're on isn't really a page, the scrollbar is fake, text is inserted and removed automatically as you "scroll", and as a result of all that Ctrl-F doesn't actually work by default. Of course you could argue that these heavyweight designs are a bad idea in the first place, but that's a trickier discussion. I think it's rare that web sites hijack Ctrl-F when leaving it alone is an option -- but I could be wrong about that.

I would argue that, and I don't think it's a particularly tricky discussion; If your site design subverts the normal, expected behaviour and functionality of the browser to such an extreme degree, then you created a poor user experience.
