Description

Hey folks.

The way that the details elements are implemented in docusaurus currently is incompatible with searching the page with cmd + F.

This is quite a big deal for documentation.

Closed details elements are searchable in chrome

I've tested in safari and firefox on my mac too and they also open on this page if I search for a word within
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/details

However, in my site and on the docusaurus site they aren't searchable due to the styling that animates the height change.

searching for "correlation" on this page yields no results
