with some Find in Page-oriented stuff)
The smart search engine / Find in Page stuff is moderately complex, so
I think the tappable options for section expansion are the place to start.
It seems to me that the following achieves TOC-like information at a
glance while balancing page load performance, usability, user choice, and
user choice measurement:
* Don't auto-expand articles by default
* Do have a JavaScript-injected "Expand Sections" / "Collapse
Sections"
feature at the top of articles with multiple sections
* Do have a user preference for Auto-Expand Sections on Article Load.
* To gauge love/hate for features, have two preferences as follows
*Show 'Expand/Collapse Sections' Option at Top of Articles*
On / Off (default = On)
*Auto-Expand Sections on Article Load*
*Note: this may slow page load time*
On / Off (default = Off)
