Current functionality moves the page within the window such that the query is within view and highlights it with a green background. On screens with large windows or small font sizes, this can often be very hard to catch.

The current alternative is to move up/down between query instances, but this does not guarantee that the window view remains consistent, which can be very jarring and disadvantageous to the user's goal. There is also no guarantee that the user's query appears multiple times.

My request is to add a rehighlight button to the Find taskbar that does not move between query hits and instead simply replays the animation that highlights the current hit with a green background without moving the page, the backing idea being that if clicking this button is spammable (a good thing), then the user should be easily able to find the query on the current page view unless some nonsense is going on.
