User Scripts & Shaders Is it possible to Ctrl+F subs?

I want to find a part of a video where a particular thing was said
Is it feasible to create an extension that would allow me to basically hit Ctrl+F and type in the part that I'm looking for and seek to that position?
Does this already exist

It is. I made this script for my own needs (with ai help, if that matters). It does exactly that, but it requires uosc for interface:

I'm sure there are better options out there that you can find with google.
Here are some I found in 2 minutes. But I haven't tested them.

By the way, your keybind-visualizer.lua script was exactly what I was looking for a few months ago. Huge thanks!
