Oh, cool.

Well, one think that I don't like is that `f <something>' only considers
the links that are currently visible. For example, when visiting the
Emacs homepage and point being on top, I expect that `f imag' will show
me the "ImageMagick" link in the Releases section. But since that's not
in the visible buffer portion, I can only type `f i' and the link "JOIN
THE FSF" is highlighted as first match. I can't even input the next
char of "imagemagick", i.e., m, anymore, because there's no such match
in the visible part of the page.
So basically I like the feature a lot but I'd prefer if it operated on
the whole page, not only the visible buffer portion. That is, I think
it would be ok if the numbers started with 1 at the beginnig of the
visible buffer portion but extended to the end of the page so that `f
<something>' has a search-forward behavior without bound.
Bye,
Tassilo
