web: search highlight — dashed ring instead of a background fill

Follow-up to #896: the background-tint highlight was nearly invisible
on "me" bubbles, whose background is often the same hue as --accent.
Draw a dashed outline around the bubble instead, offset onto the
neutral page background, so it reads clearly regardless of the
bubble's own color.
