I wonder how you plan to support the browsers 'find' feature on an infinite list.

For the Facebook news feed, I think it's reasonable to expect to be able to search for text you have scrolled past. Some infinite lists, like the Twitter news feed, or the Facebook page page (I don't know, the feed of all posts of a "Facebook page") work like this. They just leave all the text in the DOM.
This is also a problem on mobile wikipedia. I wonder if a feature for this shouldn't be added to browsers
Finally, a use for the HTTP SEARCH method?
