            Bug ID: 140210
           Summary: Provide public WKWebView API for find-in-page
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Hardware: iOS
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit2
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: eugenebut at chromium.org

Summary:
WKWebView appears to have private API for doing a native implementation of find in page (_WKFindDelegate, _findString:, etc.). Chrome for iOS currently has to implement find-in-page via JS, which is significantly slower, and has to alter the DOM for display which has the potential to cause web compatibility issues. The ability to use a native Find API would make the features better for users, since it would be faster and more reliable.

Steps to Reproduce:
Attempt to implement find in page.

Expected Results:
Access to the apparently-existing API.

Actual Results:
No way to do it except re-implementing it from scratch in JS.
