      Currently if I try to search for specific text in the reader, I can use the browser's search but it only search within the text which is currently visible . I often like to go back to the particular sentence I commented about, or search for text other people are discussing to see the context. That is very hard to do now, and is a big quality of life degradation comparing to fan translation sites where this kind of limitation is (always?) not applied (they are usually posted as one contiguous page).

      I can easily hack around this limitation, but it would be nice to have supported way to do so.

      One very easy but cheesy implementation would be to have a single page mode to render the whole part as a single long page. Then user can simply use browser's search capability on the whole document.
