Highlight searched works on page after using search functionality
Describe the feature you'd like
Whenever I search for keywords, after clicking on the page containing the word, I typically have to Ctrl+F to find the word again on the page. It would be nice to have the page highlight the word(s) when clicked-through from a search result page.
Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users
I feel this would help users quickly find where ON the page the keyword was found.
Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?
Yes, using Ctrl+F in the browser, and typing in the word (again)
Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?
- [X] I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundemental request
How long have you been using BookStack?
1 to 5 years

Thanks for the suggested @binarydad. We did have this at some point but think it went missing a while back. Search has got more complex now though, as in search types & syntax. Maybe we just keep things simple and look for the first standard text search term, or exact term, and search for that.
Could potentially be a good case for text fragments but would need JS backup (Maybe for all if specific styling is needed) since Safari/Firefox support is lacking but both vendors have been positive to the proposal.
I would appreciate this feature. As of now I'm searching for a term and after that I also need to search through Ctrl+F in the browser for the exact localtion within a page.
