How to keep old highlights when calling window.find() again

Question

If I use the below code I am able to highlight the found text in Window.

 window.find(str);

But if I search for another string with window.find() the previous highlight will be removed. But how can I change that to not remove old highlights..

You can use document.execCommand() to add styling to the current selection after calling window.find() . See my answer here, for example:
