I'm inclined to agree, though I don't remember when I last used the
feature.

On-screen find is a feature I actually use quite a bit. It's nice having
the ability to enter the search text and then have a way to search
forward or reverse.
It's true that a lot of packages have a way to find text within the
current document but it can be be very helpful to use this to get to the
wanted section of a document and then use the on-screen find to locate
something specific in that section without moving around in it.
It's just one more way to move quickly around the current screen and get
to information you really want.

Speakup doesn't have an on-screen find because it isn't necessary in
my not so humble opinion. Such a feature already exists in lynx,
elinks, vi, emacs, less, and there are almost certainly more from that
list that I can't think of off the top of my head. Why duplicate a
feature in speakup which already exists in various packages? Also, the
find feature in those packages will do a find in the current
page/document, whereas a speakup find feature would be limited only
to the current screen contents. Just my $0.01. Oh yes, I don't use
go-to either.
