I'd like find-in-page to search image alt-text as well as regular page text; Many sites use images for e.g. site navigation and if I'm trying to find text like "store locator" [1], I'd much prefer to let the computer do the grepping for me rather than my eyes. [1] Try looking for "store locator" on bestbuy.com. In this particular example, it's easy enough to find with one's eyes because it's right next to the logo in the header, but some places bury it in a side nav somewhere.

I don't think this bug (#28746) is a duplicate of bug 62773. Bug 28746 seems to be about in-page search. Whereas bug 62773 is about sending content to an external web service such as Google web search.
