在隐藏的 div 中快速查找 (ctrl+f)

Question

I have a page with tabs implemented, where the inactive tabs are hidden with display:none. Now I'm trying to find a way to search in these hidden divs using the browsers quickfind (ctrl+f / cmd+f)

Is there eg a way to run javascript, whenever a user searches for something? If for example a user searches for «template» and it's found only in one of the inactive tabs, I'd like to activate/show that tab.

Is there a way? Or would I have to implement an own search filter?

Thanks!

Well you can sure ask for the keyboard shortcuts but they can still use the browser menu to start searching.

Wouldn't it be easier to use a different method to hide those tabs? Something like

display: block;
height: 0;
width: 0;
overflow hidden;

for example (depends on you special markup/css of course)
