[Image] TextEditor search results

Summary:
Highlighted search results are too light.

From SearchHighlightingDefaultTheme.css:93:

.supports-find-banner.showing-find-banner.syntax-highlighted .search-result,
.supports-find-banner.showing-find-banner .syntax-highlighted .search-result {
    background-color: hsla(53, 83%, 53%, 0.2);
    border-bottom: 1px solid hsl(47, 82%, 60%);
}

See attached screenshot:

- The search-result background-color property uses opacity, which is hard to see against the dark background.
- The search-result color is pricking up dark mode's lighter --text-color as well.

The native *unfocused* text selection color is a light gray. It shines through the search highlight background.

Perhaps the least invasive solution would be to make the search highlight text color dark.

(Wouldn't it be nice to read system colors and pick black/white text color accordingly? Maybe one day.)

I was wrong. It was CodeMirror's color.
