I have yet to see a good web based text editor with syntax highlighting.
I slightly expect you to pull a "no true Scotsman" here and suggest it's actually no good because it doesn't really support mobile browsers very well, but Microsoft's Monaco editor that's driven from VS Code is quite good. https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/
It seems to have the same problems all of the web based editors I have seen have. Either they capture ctrl+f and take away the native search experience. Or they have a broken search experience. This one is in the latter category.
When I hit ctrl+f on that page and type "export":
First it says "1 of 4 matches" but nothing is highlighted.
When I hit enter, it says "2 of 4 matches" and again, nothing is highlighted.
When I hit enter again, it says "3 of 4 matches" and the first match is highlighted.
When I hit enter again, it says "4 of 4 matches" and the second match is highlighted.
