Oh, you are right! Hmm .. and the approach already shows its weaknesses when I play with it: When I search for something on the page, it gives me twice as many hits as there are. And jumps around two times to each hit when I use the "next" button. I wonder if that is fixable.

One simply needs the Highlight API. I held back, but now even Firefox ESR supports it. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Highlight https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Highlight All the trickery vanishes and you get first-class CSS support.

  That works on the text inside a textarea? Is there a demo showcasing this somewhere?

There is a neat `inert` html attribute you can use to disable all interactions as well as hide the text from ctrl+f searches. (Sadly Safari is the weird one out, and does not exclude the content from searches.) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Global_attributes/inert https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/...
