No. In general, you cannot invoke browser controls from inside the webpage - security, sandboxing, and all that.
You need to make some sort of in-page search - if you're using a CMS, most of them have a simple search feature built-in.
If you want to do this in JavaScript, there are various scripts that emulate this in-page; randomly selected from my query "javascript find in page" is this one: http://www.seabreezecomputers.com/tips/find.htm
