Make CTRL+G search results blink

Reported by jidanni@gmail.com, Mar 29 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.22 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Visit http://www.coia.gov.tw/web_tw/index.php
2. CTRL+G 箱

What is the expected behavior?
Easy to see where the character is.

What went wrong?
Takes a very long look until one sees where the browser has found the character. Therefore if it were made to blink, we would find it 10 times faster.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 66.0.3359.22  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 
Flash Version: 

Only on the most vanilla (no CSS) websites does the current situation work. Therefore you need blink.

Blinking would be very disruptive on sites that use standard colors like black text on white background.
On the other hand, Chrome could be smarter and blink in case the background under the found text is close to the standard search highlight color (orange).

Or maybe a screenwide thin crosshairs...

OK I guess all I can say, in the case of searching for items that happen to occur only once on the page, for example "@" there on
http://www.coia.gov.tw/web_tw/index.php ,  that as the page does not "jump" to it except only once, (and that item might be near the top or bottom, so the item might not be able to center itself... well in these cases maybe a crosshairs is needed.
