Make embeds searchable in find in file

This FR is a copy of this Help Post: How to search in embedded Markdown (file, heading, block)?

Use case or problem

When we embed Markdown contents with a link like so:

![[file#section]]

the embedded Markdown is not searchable with the standard search (Edit > Find).

This is quite counter-intuitive, as the displayed text is not searched.

It is also not convenient at all, as we cannot really search in a document made solely of embedded Markdown.

Proposed solution

Make the embeds searchable

Current workaround (optional)

Currently I switch to reading mode and then use the search function
