Can we leverage browsers' "text-search" feature in an HTML5 app?

We are working on a HTML5 app feature that does exactly like the 'text search' feature in a browser: highlighting the targeted texts.

We are wondering, since browsers already have this feature, can we just lever开发者_运维知识库age its ability and call the feature directly from HTML5 libs?

We are using sencha-touch. But we love to add in more libs if there is any lib that does this.

I'm 99.9% sure that's not a thing, sorry. Browser searching occurs outside of the HTML/rendering world.
