Describe the feature you'd like

Whenever I search for keywords, after clicking on the page containing the word, I typically have to Ctrl+F to find the word again on the page. It would be nice to have the page highlight the word(s) when clicked-through from a search result page.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

I feel this would help users quickly find where ON the page the keyword was found.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Yes, using Ctrl+F in the browser, and typing in the word (again)

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundemental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

1 to 5 years

Additional context
