Hi @addsimm! There's no such feature in CKEditor 5. And quite likely you're the first one to request it so we're gonna keep track of thumbs-ups here in this issue.

Anyway:

• Could you tell us what would the users of your app use the feature for? (in other words: what's the use-case?)
• What would you like to see in this feature? Just find or find&replace? What options?
• Have you used the Find/Replace plugin in CKEditor 4 before? If so, what was it like to use it? (OK/so–so/total distaster)

As for the implementation, we'd probably use the markers API to highlight the results and the TreeWalker to traverse the model to search for matches.

Slightly related #1257.
