Another motivating example: I have a menubar with some options hidden behind a drop-down menu, which becomes visible on hover/focus. I still expose the options to the DOM (with `position: absolute; left: -9999px`) to allow users to tab through them and have them be part of the accessibility tree. However, I don't want them to be searchable via Ctrl+F while they're not visible, as the search results would only confuse users. I would not need a CSS property if I could automatically detect when the browser searches for text; then I could e.g. automatically show the drop-down menu. But this is not possible because search does not trigger a `select` event or similar. I like the suggestion to make text with `user-select: none` not searchable but the current behavior in both Firefox and Chromium is that they *will* find text with `user-select: none`. -- GitHub Notification of comment by stefanhamburger Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3460#issuecomment-1791387918 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
