    Window.find()

    Non-standard
    This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

    Note:  Support for window.find() might change in future versions of Gecko . See bug 672395.
