The second thing was: maintaining that if the search unit cannot be a screen of displayed text, then that is bad.
So what about about that second point? If in a screen of text - say the one that I attached - I wish to find a particular word or phrase, why should I have to search the whole book? True, the search will reveal whether the screen contains the sought string, but if I press F3 to see whether the screen contains another match, then it might well be that off I go, jarringly, to another page.
So, what we have here is a feature request.

For what it's worth, when I search in a browser (tested with Edge, Chrome & Firefox), the text will be found if it is anywhere on the web page whether or not it is in a portion of the page that is currently being displayed.
The viewer search does show the chapter name (if the person who created the ebook was kind enough to include a ToC) and search is able to search in either direction, so if your search goes "jarringly" off page, you can hit the up or down arrow to return to the previous search result.
