 Content hidden by `Accordion.Panel` components can be made accessible only to a browser's find-in-page functionality with the `hiddenUntilFound` prop to improve searchability:
 
 ```jsx
-<Accordion.Root hiddenUntilFound keepMounted>

-Be aware that this must be used together with `keepMounted`.

 Alternatively `hiddenUntilFound` can be passed to `Accordion.Panel`s directly to enable this for only one `Item` instead of the whole accordion.
