title: Scroll to text (not element) in JavaScript
body: <p>Is there any way to scroll to a particular place in a text node in JavaScript? I don't just mean scrolling to the top of the text node, but actually making sure that specific words are visible.</p>
  
  <p>[edit]</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for the answers, but this is not quite what I'm looking for. This is a search being performed from JavaScript for an arbitrary string that might occur anywhere in the page. I can't just make an anchor tag when I make the page. Is there any way to scroll to a particular range of text within a text node in a pre-existing page?</p>
